I have an Asus laptop, and the keyboard backlight comes on full at startup. I formerly used the instructions here to issue a sudo command to turn it off. Basically, the steps were:

  1. gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local
  2. put echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/asus::kbd_backlight/brightness before exit 0
  3. Save and sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local

On upgrade to 15.04, this stopped working. And I can't seem to fix it. Any ideas???

This is because of the new systemd. try:

systemctl enable rc-local.service

To check status:

systemctl status rc-local.service

make sure that /etc/rc.local is executable and has #!/bin/sh in the first line.
