[Bug 1257058] Re: low graphics mode boot error

 

To edit your original post, click the little yellow exclamation point
above the bug description. To edit the package you have to type a
package name into the "choose" field, and click the small magnifying
glass to get a list of all possible packages that include that term.

Generally this issue is caused by a combination of a kernel update and
your graphics drivers. We'll file this against the "linux" package for
the time being. Please run "apport-collect 1257085" which will gather a
bunch of logs and post them attached to this report so that we can get a
better idea of what's going on here.

Title:
  low graphics mode boot error

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit with Gnome fallback

  System starts with message the system is running in low graphics mode,
  the desktop does not come up, and the system is locked from all
  further entries.

  After one or more system restarts it boots normally. Problem discussed
  in http://askubuntu.com/questions/141606/how-to-fix-the-system-is-
  running-in-low-graphics-mode-error with several possible solutions.
  One that works is to sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf - as long as this file
  is gone, there are no more boot errors. However this file keeps re-
  appearing and it seems to be re-introduced by the update linux-
  firmware_1.79.9_all.deb.
