The portion of the error message you want to look at is:



/etc/pm/power.d/99macbookair6: Permission denied


which says you do not have sufficient permission to execute /etc/pm/power.d/99macbookair6.



Even if you have some command here executable by you, you would still get permission denied error for:



echo 0 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/iso_layout




In a nutshell, you can do:



service rc.local start


only when you have all entries in /etc/rc.local executable by you (and also rc.local must be readable by you obviously). Same goes for brothers of start i.e. stop, restart etc.





To get your current setup working, the most sane way is to run the command as root:



sudo service rc.local start
