Unfortunately I don't see what the failure is about.
Something to note about this: systemd spitting out such a failure *does
not* mean that the service didn't start. One still needs to do a 'ps

Enabling/disabling a service via an /etc/default file is not meant to be
done with systemd:

I'm running systemd (and have for several years) and am happy to help
with this if I can.
