rc.local doesn't execute at startup

[HasanOzbey]

When i do: sudo sh /etc/rc.local it works perfect but when i reboot my system, it wont start.

There is my rc.local file:

#!/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.

sudo setxkbmap tr 
exit 0

I've added >> /var/log/rc.local.log 2>&1 to end of my command for see what's wrong and i've got this error from the log after reboot:

Cannot open display "default display"

I also tried sleep X but it didn't work too!

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It works perfectly. It cannot run a X command because the X server has not started when rc.local runs (and it wouldn't even know where to send the output anyway).

Put X commands in the user Startup Appliactions that run after login on the GUI.

Hello ,
Of course @dcstar has right .

I want to add an extra tip.

rc.local don't need a sudo. It executes the commands as root.

Thanks

Thank you so much but I'm such a newbie. I'll be appreciate it if you tell me how can i put those "X commands (?)" in the Startup Applications.

Fixed.

Created a file named "keyfix" and put this command inside:

setxkbmap tr

Moved this file to /home and ran that command:

chmod +x /home/keyfix

Added this file into Start Applications and it worked.
