I had similar issue under CentOS

Even through failed "sudo systemctl enable tomcat.service" tomcat has been started without error as "sudo systemctl start tomcat" command 

Did you get any issue during "jsvc" step such as tar/make etc.. ? 

Thanks,

Here is suggestion..

1. Stop all process for tomcat

2. Grant all permission to tomcat installation directory - sudo chmod -R 777 ..... 

3. Start tomcat as "startup.sh" as root

4. Access to UI

If failed please share "catalina.out" 

Thanks,

Dane

Based on the error message "Trailing garbage, ignoring" looks you have some character after "\". Can you share 'tomcat.service' file?
