rc.local creation failing on yakkety systems

[Max Brustkern]

Since yakkety systems have no /etc/rc.local by default, we try to create one in the latecommand. That's currently failing.

Hmm, has this bug resurfaced? I use a rc.local script in the System76 image mastering tools, and sometime in the last few weeks it seems to have stopped working. (Note that around the time of the original bug, I already accommodated the fact the there is no default rc.local script, so my current problem seems to be that systemd might again not be running the rc.local script when present.)

@Max: are rc.local scripts working as you expect them to currently in Yakkety? Thanks!

[Max Brustkern (nuclearbob)]

Yes, the scripts are running as we expect. The fix in this bug was just for our testing tool, which had a faulty method of creating the file if it didn't exist. Now that we create the file correctly, it seems to execute as expected.

@Max gotcha, thanks! Yeah, with more investigation, my rc.local script was getting executed, but was failing for other reasons on Yakkety.

I'm glad you were able to determine the problem. :)
