Hi
I am a new Ubuntu user. I recently upgraded Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04. The Xane program was not running properly. As I was trying to remove it using software sources, my laptop shutdown. On restart, it brought the following message.


Ubuntu running on low-graphics Mode - Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself.

The machine stops at this point and cannot go further. I am able to login via text mode.


Please assist

Alex, did you get this sorted out, or do you still need help?

My machine, with on-board Intel graphics chip, usually runs fine but if
I leave it powered on but unused for a while, it gets itself to that
message.

There's a menu presented. I've tried the obvious options without joy.
Restarting X gives a series of "broken pipe" errors, then hangs.
Reboot and all is well.

I re-installed Ubuntu 10.04 afresh and now it is running fine.

Are you using the screen saver with the random screensaver option?
Mine does that when it hits a screensaver app that doesn't work with
my system. So I've had to stop using the screensaver, which is a pain
because I'm still having the problem with the cursor going away when I
close the lid, so it would be nice to have the screensaver running if
I have to leave the lid open.
