I was also getting the low graphics mode problem when using Ubuntu 12.02.2 with Virtualbox. I've tested the updated libpciaccess package with Virtualbox in two ways:
1) I installed the package into a live session running on Virtualbox. 2) I built the package into a custom Live image which I ran on Virtualbox. In both cases adding the package solved the issue with the desktop appearing as it should. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1124660 Title: Precise 20120213 i386 live session fails in virtualbox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libpciaccess/+bug/1124660/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
