In particular, ubiquity calls systemctl set-default as part of the oem-config process, rendering recovery mode useless on any oem-configured machine. * This is a regression from previous behavior, where recovery mode would override a user-set default target. * This would also restore the intuitive behavior of this package. It is intended to be run by setting a kernel parameter for a one-time boot, and should therefore take priority over any other settings (such as configuring a different default target). [Test Case] * Run systemctl set-default multi-user.target * Use the GRUB menu to try to boot into recovery mode * Observe that you end up at a TTY, not in recovery mode [Regression Potential] * Possible regression if someone set recovery as a default kernel parameter, then relied on the default systemd target to override it. This seems like an unlikely use-case. [Original Description] Fresh Ubuntu 18.04.2 server install Try to boot to recovery mode from GRUB. Works correctly. Use systemctl to set a different default, say systemctl set-default multi-user.target Try to boot to recovery mode from GRUB. End up at getty and not the recovery menu. Delete /etc/systemd/system/default.target* and recovery mode works normally again. I believe this can be fixed by changing normaldir to earlydir in the generator.
