[Bug 1448924] Re: watchdogd doesn't start on boot

[David Kowis]

Also, I've grabbed and installed the 5.15-1 .dpkg. systemctl reports
that it's enabled, but it never starts on boot. Checking right after
boot yields this:

```
root at hylden:~# systemctl status watchdog
● watchdog.service - watchdog daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/watchdog.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
root at hylden:~# ps -eaf | grep watchdog
root        10     2  0 20:01 ?        00:00:00 [watchdog/0]
root        11     2  0 20:01 ?        00:00:00 [watchdog/1]
root       978   959  0 20:02 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto watchdog
```


```
root at hylden:/etc/default# systemctl is-enabled watchdog
enabled
```

I've disabled and re-enabled the init script via `systemctl disable
watchdog` and `systemctl enable watchdog` but I never get a watchdog
started on boot. I always have to manually start it.

What am I missing?

Title:
  watchdogd doesn't start on boot

Status in watchdog package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 15.04
  Release:	15.04

  watchdog:
    Installed: 5.14-3
    Candidate: 5.14-3
    Version table:
   *** 5.14-3 0
          500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/universe amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Expected:

  Watchdog daemon starts on system boot.

  Current:

  After updating from Utopic to Vivid the watchdog daemon doesn't start. A manual service watchdog start after boot up starts the daemon normally.
  There seems to be a problem with the transition of the init scripts from Upstart to SystemD.
