Systemd service starts with enable/start command but does nothing on startup












0















I have a simple script which set keyboard back-light to 0 on startup. It work if invoked manually.
And I have service which should invoke it on startup.



[Unit]
Description=Power_off keyboard backlight on startup

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/etc/kbd_to_zero
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target


And this service works fine when running command systemctl enable now or start.
But it does nothing on startup.
journalctl says that

What I'm doing wrong.



Thanks

          Did you try running the enable command? Assuming your service is called keyboard-backlight.service, try running the following: systemctl enable keyboard-backlight.service.

          • Yes. It instantly set back-light to zero. Then I set it back and rebooted and nothing happens.
