[Bug 1404391] [NEW] Recovery menu should have a "Run in failsafe text/console mode"

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Recovery menu should have a "Run in failsafe text/console mode".

When playing with proprietary graphic drivers, the "Graphical" mode can
screw up badly, up to the point that one cannot even switch to a TTY
Console (happened to me recently with nVidia proprietary drivers).

One can accomplish a "Run in failsafe text/console mode" with "Drop to
root shell prompt" and mount and restart the networking, but this is
tedious, especially if one needs to reboot the machine multiple times to
test the fixes.

So I suggest that "Run in failsafe text/console mode" be implemented;
should not be difficult as it should do exactly what the Graphic mode
does, except starting X.
