The system is running in low-graphics mode
Your screen, graphics cards, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself.
Solution 1 :
I solved this problem by reinstalling ubuntu-desktop.
When the message that “your system is running in low-graphics mode” appears, press Ctrl+Alt+F2, then login with your credentials
Then type below commands
# sudo apt-get update # sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop # sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop # sudo shutdown -r now
It should work after reboot … Else try the below option
Solution 2 :
sudo apt-get install gdm sudo service gdm restart
It should work after reboot… 🙂
To reconfigure gdm type
# sudo dpkg -reconfigure gdm
It works
I managed to FIX this 100% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was rebooting and rebooting and changing gdm to lightdm and back when I saw in the error messages something like non-recognized screen 0 entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I went to there and it said
Screen 0 “nvidia”
Inactive “intel”
I simply corrected those obvious entries – my graphics are Intel integrated right now. I had removed the nvidia Geforce. I deleted Inactive “Intel” and changed Screen 0 to “Intel.” This is apparently where that changeover does not get reflected and we are left with the endless loop of “This system is running in low-graphics mode.”
One reboot and I had desktop, but no launcher – rebooted again and Ubuntu was back to booting fully!
It has been since 2013 that I’ve been working on a solution to that short of reinstalling and there it is finally. I see one guy who reports that afterward some Ubuntu desktop 3d features are missing until he ran “sudo update-alternatives –remove-all x86_64-linux-gnu-gl-conf” and “sudo update-alternatives –remove-all i386-linux-gnu-gl_conf” then “sudo update-alternatives –remove-all gl_conf” – removed his /X11/xorg.conf and removed ‘nogpumanager’ from /etc/default/grub – then he could switch from ‘XRender’ to OpenGL 3.1′ in compositing display settings to regain the lost desktop effects.
That’s pretty good to know…

Hi Jaman, You can see black screen and at the left top corner cursor blinking for user name and password.
else force restart the machine and after BIOS press and hold shift key to enter in to recovery mode.
there you can log in to terminal and run above commands.
