Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
I recently experienced a problem which made it impossible for me to log
in to my laptop via gdm. However, I had no idea how to access Recovery
Mode, because grub2 does not make the user of a singleboot (Ubuntu only)
machine of its existence. Fortunately, I had access to another computer
connected to the 'net - but without that access, I would have been left
with a completely non-functioning laptop! Clearly this isn't
satisfactory.
Also, several people told me to press ESC to access the grub menu, when
(I eventually found out) it's actually SHIFT under grub2. A simple
flashed up message saying "Press SHIFT for Grub / Recovery Mode" would
be useful, I think.
