Description Andrei Amuraritei 2014-10-15 20:43:06 UTC 
Fedora 21 x86_64 with:

rpm -qi systemd
Name        : systemd
Version     : 216
Release     : 4.fc21
Architecture: x86_64
Install Date: Wed 15 Oct 2014 09:16:26 PM EEST

Summary     : A System and Service Manager

If I try to activate a simple wake on lan service: 

[Unit]
Description=Wake-on-LAN for %i
Requires=network.target
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/sbin/ethtool -s %i wol g
Type=oneshot

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

with systemctl enable wol@enp2s0

I get this: Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory

This worked OK with Fedora 20 and systemd < 215(?).

Also if I try systemctl start wol@enp2s0, this works as expected.

Only the enable part which created the symlink to the wants target doesn't.

This was indeed broken at some point, but got fixed in one of the updates. For distribution specific bugs (like in this case, something worked but got broken in one of the updates), it is better to file bugs on the distribution bug tracker, against a specific package version.

(Please reopen if I'm wrong and you can reproduce this with latest git.)
Comment 2 Andrei Amuraritei 2015-01-06 23:06:34 UTC 
This was fixed indeed, now with Fedora 21. This bug report came as a suggestion from adamw on #fedora irc, that's why it was raised here directly.

Anyway I guess this can be marked as fixed now?

Thanks.
