how to get ubuntu to reboot right after loading "recovery" (grub2) or gui normally (ie add some more parameters in grub2) I want do that because my thunderbolt is only seen after a warm reboot thx
 
I'd say the best way to do it would be a script that runs right when you log in, which automatically soft reboot's the computer. I'm not 100% sure on how to do it on Ubuntu, but search around as I'm sure there are lots of articles/posts about running scripts on login.
 
The bigger question is why are you loading in recovery mode instead of letting grub continue to the next phase of the boot process. Linux doesn't do a warm reboot anymore, as all reboots are cold reboots, meaning that they go through a full POST again prior to grub initiating the kernel loading process. The cold boot allows all devices to reinitialize instead of already being initialized for the kernel to detect and load the appropriate driver for it.

I have changed my bios from retail macbook to tianocore/coreboot. some thunderbolt ssdt is missing thats why but its too advanced/time consoming for me to port those dsdt/ssdt for thunderbolt over to coreboot
