I may not be the bug initiator, but I'm willing to continue troubleshooting.
A symlink to rc.local exists as S99rc.local in runlevels 2, 3, 4, and 5 (/etc/rc#.d/). Ran the defaults command anyway, just to see what would happen: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo update-rc.d rc.local defaults [sudo] password for jthibeault: System startup links for /etc/init.d/rc.local already exist. As for its permissions: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -la /etc/rc*.d/S99rc.local lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-10-24 15:22 /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local -> ../init.d/rc.local lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-10-24 15:22 /etc/rc3.d/S99rc.local -> ../init.d/rc.local lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-10-24 15:22 /etc/rc4.d/S99rc.local -> ../init.d/rc.local lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-10-24 15:22 /etc/rc5.d/S99rc.local -> ../init.d/rc.local [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -la /etc/rc.local -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 371 2008-05-04 19:42 /etc/rc.local -- rc.local script does not run on bootup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226503 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
