I just stumbled across this bug on a fresh install of Karmic Koala on my Lenovo Thinkpad T400(Model 2767-BK1). The script runs fine when executed from a command line but fails to run on system startup.
I have seen various web-pages advising the removal of the '-e' switch on the #!/bin/sh line but that did not help. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 589 2009-12-15 18:39 /etc/rc.local lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2009-11-17 12:34 /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local -> ../init.d/rc.local -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 801 2009-09-07 14:58 /etc/init.d/rc.local -- /etc/rc.local is not executed at startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471266 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
