thinkfan.service and chronyd.service keep failing on Fedora 20

[Sudhir Khanger]

Hello,

thinkfan.service and chronyd.service keep failing on boot on my Fedora
20 KDE Thinkpad T420i. Restarting them brings them back to normal
running status.

[donnie at fedora ~]$ systemctl --failed
UNIT             LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION
chronyd.service  loaded failed failed NTP client/server
thinkfan.service loaded failed failed simple and lightweight fan control program

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

2 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
