As far as I'm concerned, this is not a valid bug report. But, I'm switching it to the correct component, maybe others will be able to come up with something.

Comment 3 Martin Sehnoutka 2016-10-19 10:30:31 UTC
Fedora 16 is not supported any more. Please update to one of supported versions (f23 or f24) and try it again. Also Fedora comes with `systemd` by default, so you should use `systemctl` command instead of `service`.
