Title:
  recovery mode hanging

Status in friendly-recovery package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I've reported this yesterday as a single bug, #1767685 , but further
  debugging showed that it seems to be two distinct bugs.

  I've installed Lubuntu 18.04 on another machine today and had the same
  problem, recovery mode hanging after activating the network. (using an
  encrypted partition). Although the recovery mode hangs, the systemd
  debug shell is working and I found from systemctl status:


      State: initializing
       Jobs: 78 queued
     Failed: 1 units
      Since: Mon 2018-04-30 15:02:45 CEST; 36s ago
     CGroup: /
             ├─init.scope
             │ └─1 /sbin/init recovery --startup-event=recovery
             └─system.slice
               ├─debug-shell.service
               │ ├─378 /bin/bash
               │ └─962 systemctl status
               ├─systemd-udevd.service
               │ └─583 /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd
               ├─systemd-journald.service
               │ └─377 /lib/systemd/systemd-journald
               └─friendly-recovery.service
                 ├─403 /bin/bash /lib/recovery-mode/recovery-menu
                 ├─591 /bin/sh /lib/recovery-mode/options/network
                 ├─595 systemctl start dbus.socket
                 └─602 /bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch

  
  The system hangs in systemd-tty-ask-password-agent. Killing 591 /lib/recovery-mode/options/network makes the system go back to it's options selection menu and open a recovery shell. 

  So that's where the system hangs.
