Comment 90 for bug 1386005

i dont was reading all the comentaries (becouse tomor i work, but i was reading half).

I get the same problem, ubuntu 14.04 and 16.10.

What I was thinking, after all this big bug i want to start my linux in recovery mode, and then i was searching google how to start in command line and i get this: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/01/boot-into-text-console-ubuntu-linux-14-04/

so I tryed on my Ubuntu 16.10,and work, now i start in command line, something what give me the chance to type my mda5-crypt password :D

for make this change you can acces the website from up or to do this.

To get started, press Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal. When it opens, follow the below steps:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Search this
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”
change to
#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”"
change to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”text”

#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
change to
GRUB_TERMINAL=console

save the file and type [b] sudo update-grub [/b]

For me is ok.
