** Description changed: Binary package hint: plymouth I can no longer boot into recovery mode a.k.a. single user mode. The "Recovery Menu" appears where I want to "Drop to root shell prompt without networking". But when I hit the cursor down key it immediately shows the plymouth splash screen and I can no longer see the Recovery Menu, making it effectively impossible to select the correct menu entry. This happens on two different machines running lucid amd64. It seems that the splash screen just hides the recovery menu. Pressing Enter seems to select one of the menu entries, although I did not succeed in trying to "blindly" select the root shell entry. Booting into single user mode did work before, at least on 2010-07-27 when I did the last filesystem dump. <unrelated rant> Words can't describe how much I hate this f***ing plymouth. First I had to realize that it's impossible to see *all* boot messages the kernel and init/upstart normally emit. As it seems I'm *forced* to get used to an oh so cute splash screen. Then the endless hassles of making it at least use my screens native resolution. And now I cannot boot my Unix systems into single user mode? And all this for a "flicker free" booting experience? You're kidding. - Oh and I forgot: Documentation? What's that? Use the force, Luke! Or what? Damn... + Oh and I forgot: Documentation? What's that? Use the force, Luke!
