[Bug 912381] Re: Error "ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" directly after installation

 

This also affects me, but I believe the bug is not in nvidia, becase it
happens in my Atom netbook.

Title:
  Error "ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" directly after
  installation

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop on my Dell XPS 1330 (Nvidia 8400M
  GS). The Live CD session works great and installation was no problem.
  But after the first reboot I get the error message: "ubuntu is running
  in low-graphics mode".

  On the terminal I tried to install manually:
  nvidia-173 nvidia-173-updates
  or
  nvidia-current nvidia-current-updates

  But non of the two packages resolves my problem. So i tried to install the nvidia driver with "jockey-text".
  $ jockey-text -c
  $ jockey-text -u
  $ jockey-text -a
  $ jockey-text -C
  Additional Drivers
  Downloading and installing driver...

  Sorry, installation of this driver failed.

  Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log
  $

  
  For me it's not important to install the proprietary Nvidia driver. I just would like to use the system. If possible with the nouveau or with the nvidia driver
