BTW, I reproduced the same problem in a different (and arguably more realistic) scenario:
- install ubuntu 16.04 - configure networking with a bridge interface but a port member that doesn't exist when you next boot up (e.g. make br0 with a member which is a USB ethernet adapter, and then remove the USB adapter) - reboot - you find it hangs for about 6 minutes - so you decide to reboot again, and go into recovery mode to fix the networking config Then you get the same as described before: you get a recovery shell which works for a few minutes, but then systemd continues with the bootup and blats over the recovery shell with a new session, making the system unusable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1609475 Title: Recovery mode won't allow recovery after manually installing the OS incorrectly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1609475/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
