Title:
  Errors entering single-user mode; hang going back to multiuser

Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Several wrong-looking messages appear when entering single-user mode,
  and when ^D is typed to exit the single-user shell, the system hangs trying to resume multi-user mode
  (the graphical login never apperas, nor does the virtual-terminal login prompt).

  I observed this testing with virtualbox.  Haven't tried bare metal.

  I will attach two screenshots, one showing the entry into single-user mode, the second showing the attempted exit.
  But the bits which seemed relevant are reproduced below;

  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1.  Log in as root from a virtual console (in virtualbox: <host>-F1 and log in)
  2.  $ shutdown now  # documented to enter single-user mode

  /lib/init/init-d-script: 2: /etc/default/whoopsie: [General]: not found
  ...
  ModemManager ... Caught signal, shutting down...
  ModemManager ... Could not acquire the 'org.freedesktop.Modemmanger1' service name

  3. When prompted, enter root password
  ...
  4. ^D (or type 'exit')
  ...
