recovery mode: recovery-menu linke 75: file or directory not found

[Hadmut Danisch]

Hi,

I just installed a Ryzen 7 machine with Lubuntu 18.04, no modifications so far, just as it was installed with lubuntu alternative.

After booting, the system came up normally. I then tried to reboot into recovery mode to check a problem (disk LED continuously blinking) and noticed that recovery mode does not work:

- reboot, choose recovery mode at the grub prompt

- get into the recovery options menu and choose to enable networking and mount the root disk writeable

some steps are performed, but after "[ OK ] Reached target Sound Card" the system hangs.

There's one error message (in german):

/lib/recovery-mode/recovery-menu: line 75: /etc/default/rcS: file or directory not found

regards

This may be a duplicate of bug 1766872 where "enable network does not work in recovery mode".

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

It's not quite a duplicate, because this message appears before the network option is even attempted -- it's a bug in the menu code; but we'll mark it as a duplicate anyway as it's only really apparent when people pick the "network" option.

We're working on fixing all that, including the network option.
