[Bug 893302] Re: friendly-recovery depends on /usr/bin/whiptail, and will fail if /usr on a different filesystem

[Brian Murray]

** Description changed:

  I was trying to zero in a problem on Precise, Linux 3.2, and -- perhaps
  -- encrypted LVM. So I booted, under the 3.2 kernel, into recovery --
  and was greeted by a message stating
  
  "Couldn't find whiptail, starting root shell instead of recovery menu."
  
  Indeed, at this point in time my /usr has not, yet, been mounted.
  
- End result: friendly-recovery is not available is /usr is a different
+ End result: friendly-recovery is not available as /usr is a different
  filesystem.
