This rescue mode is a permanent PITA for me. I've been trying to do lowlevel disk recovery only to have something signal to the systemd to go multiuser. Alternative keystrokes are sent to 1. the recovery root level shell 2. the systemd menu.
I've worked around this when needed by booting an Ubuntu CD or live USB and trying to work from there -- but this shouldn't be necessary. I like the recovery menu and it was easy to work an end-user through recovery with it when it works. It's worse than non-helpful in the current stage. I could live with being in a standalone shell without the menu if that would let me fix the system. We need a way to block systemd from changing run levels without a direct command to do so... or a complete exit of the recovery shell. It definitely gets some signal that wakes it up and at times screws up recovery to the point of needing a reload. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1609475 Title: Recovery mode won't allow recovery after manually installing the OS incorrectly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1609475/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
