  Open 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.

  If you're using Sandy bridge or latest one architecture then don't forget this :
  

   sudo apt-get install acpi-call-tools

  This 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

  You haven't added any power saving settings or scripts in it.
  Hence,Jump to step number 2.

  Which means you haven't added PPA properly.
  Go to ubuntu Software center --> Edit --> Software sources --> Other Software.
  
  Show me it's content.
  
  If you don't know how to add PPA, read : Adding PPAs in Ubuntu

  Whatay great tool. Using on my system and battery life has surely improved. I however have tweaked /etc/default/tlp conf file manually for some parameters.
