Public bug reported: I installed Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop on my Dell XPS M1330. The live session works fine but after installation I get the message "ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" when starting the pc. I opened the bug #912381 from the terminal.
Every day I update the system from the terminal and try to run the system. I also tried to install the nvidia driver and this always failed. After the latest updates the system starts the login screen now but after log in this error occurs.
