Sometimes in ubuntu, rc.local does not execute , specially in fresh installation.
So if you encounter this issue , you can solve it by using two methods.
I have used these methods several time with success. Also make sure you command entries are above ‘exit 0‘ line
Also adding 10 seconds delay helps in few cases.

Method # 1 , By Using WEBMINMethod # 2 , By Removing -e from /etc/rc.loacl file [and add 10 seconds delay]
Method # 1 , By Using WEBMIN
Install webmin from http://www.webmin.com/deb.html
After installati0n is done, open webmin and goto
SYSTEM > BOOTUP & SHUTDOWN
Scroll down and and Click on rc.localSelect YES on Start at boot time?
SYSTEM > BOOTUP & SHUTDOWN

As shown in the image below.
Method # 2 , By Removing -e from /etc/rc.loacl file
Edit rc.local file by
nano /etc/rc.local
at first line remove -e for example
Change from
#!/bin/sh -e
to
#!/bin/sh
Save & Exit, then Reboot and see, hopefully rc.local will execute on the boot.
Also adding following sleep 10 directive before any script in rc.local will help. e.g:
Example of rc.local
root@ahmad-desktop:~# cat /etc/rc.local
#!/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.# Add 10 seconds delay …sleep 10#Followign command will run my script for internet sharing etc / zaib/etc/fw.sh
exit 0
