[SOLVED]systemd won't start my /etc/rc.local

I was trying to emulate rc.local behaviour with this:

/usr/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service

[Unit]
Description=/etc/rc.local Compatibility
ConditionPathExists=/etc/rc.local

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/etc/rc.local start
TimeoutSec=0
StandardOutput=tty
RemainAfterExit=yes
SysVStartPriority=99

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and my

/etc/rc-local

looks like this

modprobe -r samsung_laptop

But it's not working. When I execute sudo systemctl status rc-local.service I get

rc-local.service - /etc/rc.local Compatibility
          Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service; enabled)
          Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2013-03-29 17:54:16 CET; 5min ago
         Process: 745 ExecStart=/etc/rc.local start (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

Re: [SOLVED]systemd won't start my /etc/rc.local

Why do you have "start" as an argument to /etc/rc.local?

Also, for what you are trying to achieve, why not simply blacklist the module in /etc/modrpobe.d?  Then it would not be loaded under any circumstances.  Also if this is out of fear of the UEFI bug, I believe that for this particular module, there has been a patch included in the latest kernels that protects this from happening by not allowing writes to the NVRAM if it is 50% full or more.

Well, I was blindly copy-pasting without reading. Either way, a module should be blacklisted, as you said. This one is solved, thank you.
