Ubuntu 12.04 I'm having the same problem, and got here via a screen brightness problem as well.
I can run /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local start /etc/init.d/rc.local start /etc/rc.local and the screen dims each time so it's not the file(s) or the permissions (I checked they're all executable by root). So I'm assuming /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local start isn't running at startup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882254 Title: /etc/rc.local is not executed at startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/882254/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
