As you can tell, I am new to Ubuntu. The different root login

But where is /etc/inittab in Ubuntu? Why is it not there? Why can I
not go from console mode to graphics mode using telinit? In fact, why
does telinit not seem to even work in Ubuntu?
I guess I am just learning how different from each other these distros
can actually be.
I think it's because they use upstart[1]. As for going from one "mode"
to another, the Debian way is that you can use runlevels for whatever
you want but they're all the same by default, so using telinit to change
runlevels won't go from one "mode" to another (unless you set up your
runlevels like that manually). I would assume Ubuntu follows suit.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
