Public bug reported:
1. Start computer
2. Hold Shift to get into Grub2 menu
3. Select the recovery version of the kernel
4. Computer boots, displays the recovery menu (the one that says normal boot,
dpkg, etc)
5. Computer reports problems with mounting file system, drops to root shell and
gave option to press Ctrl-D. The error message was outputted over the top of
the menu (ie. still see the character-based menu structure)
6. Pressing enter causes the command prompt to be outputed without carriage
return or line feed.
7. Running "top" resets the screen such that everything displays properly
8. The recover menu randomly repaints itself
9. When typing commands, the command often (not always) have the 1st character
removed (eg. type "fsck", only "sck" get sent to shell)
10. On next recovery menu repaint, it showed that the highlighted row is the
line that has the starting character matching the clipped character (in example
above, the menu entry for fsck is selected)
11. Pressing enter sends the command to the root shell (not executing the
selected menu entry)
Other aspects:
* /dev/sda1 (/) was mounted correctly in rw mode - I don't know what the file
system error is about.
* Not sure what else I should include - or how to get to it as I've restarted
the computer multiple times.
