[Launchpad Bug Tracker <562565@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When I restart sometimes my machine boots into "low graphics mode".
Usually after a couple of restarts the problem fixes itself and
everything is A-ok unless I restart (it MAY take several restarts to
trigger problem). My specs are:

Acer M1640
-1.8GHZ Intel Dual Core
-4GB of Crucial ram
-Nvidia 7050 Onboard Graphics
-250GB HD (Ubuntu)
-160GB HD (80GB X2 Raid 0/1) (Windows 7)

The screens read as follows:

"Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode

The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this.
(EE) Apr 13 16:26:54 NVIDIA (0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the
(EE) Apr 13 16:26:54 NVIDIA (0): system's kernel log for additional error messages and
(EE) Apr 13 16:26:54 NVIDIA (0)  Consult the NVIDIA README for details.
(EE) NVIDIA (0): ***Aborting***
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a visible configuration."

The screen that follows the aforementioned one reads:

"What would you like to do?

-Run Ubuntu in low-graphics mode just for one session
-Reconfigure graphics
-Troubleshoot the error
-Exit to console login
-Restart X"

This maybe a potential show-stopper for some NVIDIA users as restarting
frequently can be frustrating.
