** Tags added: apport-collected bionic

** Description changed:

  On 18.04.1, the 'start network' option on the recovery menu prints this
  error on screen
  
    /lib/recovery-mode/recovery-menu: line 75: /etc/default/rcS: No such
  file or directory
  
  and gets stuck after
    ...
    [   OK   ] Listening on Load/Save RF Kill Switch Status /dev/rfkill Watch.
    [   OK   ] Reached target Sound Card.
  
  Pressing Enter does nothing, pressing Ctrl-C resumes the boot.
  
  As such, there is currently no way to start the network from the
  recovery menu (other than doing it manually from the root shell), and
  remounting / rw needs to be typed manually on the root prompt as well.
  
- (Either result of this option is good to have when guiding less
- experienced users through recovery for remote support.)
