> When installing how, with what version of Ubuntu? Same Version as reported by Florian, see bug description: 11.10 amd64
> This bug was reported against Ubuntu 11.10. The initscripts package in Ubuntu 11.10 includes an /etc/rc.local file that is marked executable. I don't know whats marked as whatsoever - but after installation of Ubuntu 11.10 (x86_64) it is possible that /etc/rc.local is not executable. I've double checked that in the moment by performing two identical fresh installations on different hardware and it seems to be a strange behaviour: * HP EliteBook 8560p, i5-2540M, SSD: NOT executable * Virtual machine (VMware ESXi): executable Installations were done by booting the live CD per PXE, then performing "apt-get upgrade". >> So chmod -x /etc/rc.local makes the trick. > No, that does the exact opposite of what you want. Right, it's a typo, correct is: chmod +x /etc/rc.local -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
