This is not a bug with auth because upstart will not load gdm, so level is same, as per sudo init.d command is controlled by upstart, so this is either a bug against the commands coming off the friendly-recovery (which might be if they were assuming instruction as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode) But that bug (friendly- recovery)https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/friendly- recovery/+bug/459376 is said to be caused by caused by script ... # Check kernel command-line for inhibitors for ARG in $(cat /proc/cmdline) do case "${ARG}" in text|-s|s|S|single) exit 0 ;; esac done ... end script or APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:: "[ ! -f /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket ] || /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.PackageKit --type=method_call /org/freedesktop/PackageKit org.freedesktop.PackageKit.StateHasChanged string:'cache-update'"; in which reported previously in bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/436936 describes the same bug in source # Check kernel command-line for inhibitors for ARG in $(cat /proc/cmdline) do case "${ARG}" in text|-s|s|S|single) exit 0 ;; esac done because when you load recovery the upstart will not release as per line and gdm will not auth because previous state no load menu(friendly recovery), upstart gdm command or upstart seem to be where the issue is. because the gdm-auth would just be part of the loaded level. what the command is startx /etc/int.d is controlled by upstart it will not take And about my writing style versus yours please do not correct me any more. I have a different writing style. I don't know I may eat something different also. Who really cares as long as the point can get across. I am sorry if this seems like a public lashing , I am just trying to get a point across regarding the matter at hand.
