resume menu item doesn't start gdm

The problem is that the gdm upstart file has:

script
...
    # Check kernel command-line for inhibitors
    for ARG in $(cat /proc/cmdline)
    do
        case "${ARG}" in
            text|-s|s|S|single)
                exit 0
                ;;
        esac
    done
...
end script

Combined with friendly-recovery just doing a "exit" on resume. To fix we need to change the upstart script and
make friendly recovery emit that we are now resuming.

I'm not convinced that's the best thing to do architecture-wise, but it may
be necessary as a solution for karmic.

Here is the missing bit that aptitude does not implement:

APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:: "[ ! -f /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket ] || /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.PackageKit --type=method_call /org/freedesktop/PackageKit org.freedesktop.PackageKit.StateHasChanged string:'cache-update'";

This is affecting Lucid too (2010-03-04)

Confirmed for Lucid and for kdm.

This bug was fixed in the package friendly-recovery - 0.2.13

---------------
friendly-recovery (0.2.13) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Move everything to /lib/recovery-mode/ (LP: #234409)
  * Don't use the fullpath to whiptail
  * Add new init script starting on recovery-mode (LP: #459376)
  * If whiptail can't be found, just start sulogin
  * Add a script to start mountall (remount everything read/write)
    (LP: #575469, LP: #651782)
  * Export READONLY to all scripts so they can test on the read/write state
  * Disable most scripts when the system is read only
  * Change file system check to happen when remount is called
  * Wait after all scripts returning output so the user can read it
  * Add postinst script to move any existing script to /lib/recovery-mode
    and make /usr/share/recovery-mode a symlink
  * Mark as breaking on older grub2, upstart and initramfs-tools
  * Small packaging refresh:
    - Bump standard to 3.9.2, no change needed
    - Drop simple patchsys (no patches)
    - No need to depend on bash (essential package)
    - Add ${misc:Depends} to dependencies

This bug has been fixed in the latest version of Ubuntu. The fix will not get backported to Karmic, because Karmic is EOL
