Feature Freeze exception: - Adds a new feature to initramfs-tools and use it in grub2 to allow passing the "startup-event" flag to upstart. This is required to start friendly-recovery using upstart before any of the regular "on startup" jobs. Otherwise we'd have had to patch all the upstart jobs declaring "start on startup" or avoid using upstart entirely. - Add support for read-only and read/write recovery into friendly-recovery. Previous friendly-recovery would essentially start once most of the system services are already running and using read/write access to the FS.
UI Freeze Exception: - The recovery menu after this change is quite different. Instead of getting all the available options, the user is offered with only the subset that can run in read-only mode and an extra option to switch to read/write mode. Selecting that option then shows the usual set of options. I don't know if our documentation contains screenshot of the recovery mode, if it does, then these will need updating. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575469 Title: [UIFe] [FFe] recovery mode mounts filesystems read-write rather than read-only To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/friendly-recovery/+bug/575469/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
