I experienced this bug as well, on lucid fresh install. For temporary workaround, I did as follow:
sudo update-rc.d -f rc.local remove sudo update-rc.d rc.local defaults Putting it back to normal setting ( sudo update-rc.d rc.local start 99 2 3 4 5 . ) will make rc.local not being executed (again).
