With your cursor on "Ubuntu, with Linux 3.16.0-18-generic (recovery mode)", press 'e' and you should see 'recovery' specified somewhere on the line that starts 'linux'. If not, your grub config is incorrect for some reason.
To test if recovery mode works, again having pressed 'e', remove 'single' and replace it with 'recovery' then CTRL+x or F10 to boot into recovery mode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348784 Title: thermald prevents unmounting /dev/sda1 in recovery mode Status in “thermald” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 dev with thermald 1.2-1 and if the system is started in the recovery mode it is not possible to unmount /dev/sda1 because thermald is running. Interestingly lsof hasn't even showed that something has a file descriptor on /dev/sda1 open but executing "stop thermald" has worked as a workaround. --- ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 EcryptfsInUse: Yes NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: upstart 1.13.2-0ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-18-generic root=UUID=af27feae-4c9e-4b5f-a1e1-900c0e71c5cb ro elevator=cfq ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-18.25-generic 3.16.3 Tags: utopic Uname: Linux 3.16.0-18-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UpstartBugCategory: System UpstartRunningSystemVersion: init (upstart 1.13.2) UserGroups: _MarkForUpload: True modified.conffile..etc.lxdm.lxdm.conf: [modified] mtime.conffile..etc.init.control.alt.delete.conf: 2012-05-05T17:10:11.434470 mtime.conffile..etc.init.tty2.conf: 2014-05-29T05:14:16.791093 mtime.conffile..etc.init.tty3.conf: 2012-05-05T17:10:49.238469 mtime.conffile..etc.init.tty4.conf: 2012-05-05T17:10:58.066468 mtime.conffile..etc.init.tty5.conf: 2012-05-05T17:11:02.938468 mtime.conffile..etc.init.tty6.conf: 2012-05-05T17:11:09.442468 mtime.conffile..etc.lxdm.lxdm.conf: 2012-12-23T19:04:26.948844 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thermald/+bug/1348784/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
