I have slightly different behavior but the same ultimate result. After two minutes in the root shell, the friendly-rescue menu shows up again, conflicting in a bizarre way with the existing prompt; sometimes keystrokes affect one process and sometimes the other, sometimes both somehow. They write over eachother breaking both the shell and the menu, and usually making the whole server unusable until a reboot.
My fix was to uninstall friendly-rescue, which at least gives me another root shell that breaks less when it starts overtop of my existing one after two minutes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1662137 Title: 16.04 recovery shell works only for two minutes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1662137/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
