| Aug 14 at 19:38 | comment | added | Peter Cordes | @AustinHemmelgarn: Was going to say the same thing. init=/bin/bash isn't "single user mode" (traditionally runlevel 1 in SysV init), it's "full manual mode" or something. | |
| Aug 14 at 10:59 | comment | added | Austin Hemmelgarn | It’s debatable whether booting directly into a shell like this is actually ‘single-user mode’. The very concept of single-user mode is very much a function of your init system, but if you boot directly into a shell you have no init system running. Separately, on systemd-based systems like Ubuntu, you probably want to use rescue mode or emergency mode (entered from boot by psecifying rescue or emergency on the kernel command line) instead of booting directly into a shell. | |
