Bug Description

1. Hold down Shift key while booting, to get into GRUB
2. Choose options to get into Recovery menu (I forget exact wording)
3. As Ubuntu continues to finish booting, boot messages write over top of GRUB menu (see attached screenshot)
4. I think you can use up/down arrow keys to make the menu items appear again. But if a user gets confused and manages to click OK on something they can't read, they could damage their system.
