Description of problem: This is regression of #752774. A unit which is instantiated from a template cannot be enabled/disabled with systemctl. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-208-28.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Take a service that uses templates, for example openvpn. 2. Run "systemctl enable openvpn" Actual results: Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory Expected results: ln -s '/lib/systemd/system/openvpn@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/openvpn' Additional info: It looks to be caused by patch for #1149069 (0572-core-don-t-allow-enabling-if-unit-is-masked.patch in src.rpm). In unit_file_enable function, call to unit_file_get_state does not find the instance service and abort the function prematurely.
Most likely the same commit causes the change in behavior when one of requested units do not exists: Steps: 1. systemctl enable foo.service bar.service non-existing.service Current result: no service is enabled Previous (expected) result: foo.service and bar.service got enabled.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
