And to add insult to injury, if it does work (which I have gotten into the menu), if you try to drop to root, you are prompted for a password!!! I never changed my password for root from my initial install as I always use sudo, so now I'm fcskd! some stupid auto-update hosed my ATI video driver and I can't get into my system now to fix it. UGH! Also, if you try "root with networking", it doesn't load SSH so I can't even ssh from another box (with my user/password) once I see the IP assigned. Why the F*CK did the Ubuntu people have to mess with this system.
I've even tried to edit my grub with the "e" "single" "b" trick and that also forces this god damn menu on me! Thanks ubuntu guys for locking me out of my own box. :-\ -- single-user mode unusable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399919 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
