I am trying to boot an Intel Nuc running Snappy Ubuntu Core into single user mode. I have tried the usual method, but have gotten no where. Any suggestions for getting this to work would be greatly appreciated.

In case you're still able to boot in multi-user mode (which is the default and corresponds to runlevel 6), do a regular boot, then start a shell terminal window and run:

sudo telinit 1

...in order to switch to runlevel 1 (single user mode).

If you're unable to boot at all, you can use the method explained at https://askubuntu.com/a/132983/389062, but instead of holding the shift key you hold the Esc key to enter the GRUB menu, then press e to enter the GRUB editor, look for the first instance of splash $vt_handoff and change it to splash $vt_handoff 1, then press F10 (or hold Ctrl while you press X) in order to boot in single user mode (runlevel 1).

After you're finished doing whatever you wanted to do in single user mode, just run:

telinit 6

...in order to switch back to runlevel 6.
