Anyone: Any suggestions about the new versions of Ubuntu and Mint crashing when trying to shift from multi-user mode down to single-user mode?

What distinction is supposed to exist here? At http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SysVinit_to_Systemd_Cheatsheet under "Runlevels/targets ", we see: Sysvinit Runlevel Systemd Target Notes -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1, s, single runlevel1.target, rescue.target Single user mode. which is pretty bog-traditional, at least to my eye.
Systems consistently crash when I give any of these commands (in Ubuntu 14.04.1 and Mint 17)...
init 1 telinit 1 shutdown now
... in spite of documentation saying I can do those very things.
Looks like a systemd situation to me.....

It's a good thing it's easy to alias commands, since: $ systemctl list-units --type=target isn't much of an improvement on: $ who -r # Good from solaris to ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, over several # decades. $ runlevel Erik -- At the Victorian [era] version of the X Factor, the talent show format was stripped right back to its bare bones.
