I want to add some lines which should execute every time Ubuntu boots up, so I don't have to change them manually everytime. I've read in some place that you should edit this file /etc/rc.local. However when I add the lines I want to execute at start up it doesn't run those lines.

So I wonder where the start up file is located in ubuntu? Those lines I want to add is to change the sensitivity for the trackpoint

One of the lines I want to add: echo -n 250 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity

It's working fine here. Have you made sure that /etc/rc.local ends with "exit 0":

...stuff...

# set trackpoint sensitivity
echo -n 250 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity

exit 0

If it does, you're maybe using the wrong path. Try /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/sensitivity instead.
