Public bug reported:
Past kernel boot lines, tool runlevel arguments at boot time. In other
distros, you added "1" for single user text, "2", "3", "4" or "5" for
multiuser text mode... Ubuntu, along the way changed this and used the
kernel boot option "text". Somewhere between natty and oneiric, that
"text" kernel boot option went away. I mentioned this during dev
testing months ago and was left unanswered... This cabality never
returned.
All these runlevels are still available from a commandline in a
termeinal or consolde session once the System is booted. But that is
not the problem or need.
If you have a system that does not boot into a GUI... Of TTY Text
Console modes, there is now only the option to boot into runlevel
(single)? What happened to the ability of Multi-user-modes? I usually
setup that as one of my Grub2 40_custom menu items on my own boxes.
If this has changed in syntax, it doesn't seem to be documented. I do
know that during testing, when I had installed server - then runlevel 2
was there. If on that same server if I installed an xxxxxxx-desktop
package then either the kernel or the default runlevel setting was
changed and only booting directly to a GUI was there.
Yes users could go recovery > Root or remount then netroot... but newer
users get lost there.
