Comment 9 for bug 882254

> 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".

Right, it's a typo, correct is: chmod +x /etc/rc.local
