Abhishek RawalOpen up the script & tell me what's the script in it.
If there ain't any script in it then ignore it & move further. If there's any, then remove it. -
Abhishek RawalIf you're using Sandy bridge or latest one architecture then don't forget this :
sudo apt-get install acpi-call-tools

Sanyam KhuranaThis is there in the script..
#!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. exit 0
