fitoschido, Atom systems are using the poulsbo driver, which can end up with this same error but for an entirely different, unrelated reason.
Looking at the jockey log, this does appear to be a jockey-specific issue, probably something with the nvidia kernel module failing to build, but nvidia in xorg.conf causing the system to not try anything but nouveau. The xorg.conf should be more or less unnecessary these days so deleting just that *might* be a sufficient work around. But clean reinstall is not a bad idea either. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => jockey (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to jockey in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/912381 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.
