Public bug reported:
I've seen this on two systems: Xubuntu on dual Xeons, and Ubuntu on an
I-7.
When I choose "advanced options" -> "recovery mode" in Grub, and then
"root shell prompt" in the resulting booted system, I cannot expect it
to be functional for long.
I can do a few things, but even if I do nothing, it can break in a way
that takes it back to the place where I selected "root shell prompt" but
it is completely unresponsive to the keyboard or mouse. Or nearly so.
I can get a reboot with the three-finger-salute. Usually.
Even without that, I've been interrupted by status messages garbling the
screen and other stuff I'd love to suppress. At least usually, I would.
I'd like some control.
When I'm already fighting system problems, this is even more annoying
than usual, but it happens on healthy systems too.
