[Bug 882254] Re: /etc/rc.local is not executed at startup

[Lindsey334]

Steve Langasek:

People are following up this bug because nothing has been done about it.

YES, the proposed command:   echo 0 >
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness   works when I run it in
command line (Terminal). In fact, I execute this command EVERY SINGLE
TIME I start my dang computer to get the brightness level to something
that isn't going to melt my eyeballs. It is hugely inconvenient.

So since it works at the command line, I don't understand why it is not
working in the rc.local file. Hence = bug.

And YES the rc.local file is marked as executable. This is actually the
first thing I checked when I noted it wasn't working.

Is there anything else I can do to get rc.local working please or to get
someone to address this bug please?

By the way, this issue has already been posted on AskUbuntu with zero
help provided. In fact, a link to the question has already been posted
in this comment thread.

Thanks, looking forward to your response.
