apport-unpack can be used to decompress the .crash file to review things locally, however note this doesn't run the apport hook itself, so it contains a subset of the stuff usually collected into bug reports.
apport-collect <bug-number> run from the troubled machine will collect the appropriate data files, and post them to the bug report. Run it only after reproducing the error (e.g. while system is in failsafe, or locked up or whatever.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1125759 Title: Intel integrated graphics boots in low graphics mode Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After successfully installing 13.04 on my Dell XPS 15z, I restarted the laptop, successfully booting into Ubuntu with no issues. Restarting after that then gives the 'System is running in low graphics mode' message. I can only boot in recovery mode UPDATE: In the ubuntu forums thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2115355), jbicha, recommended the following which fixed (or worked around) the problem "Perhaps this is a problem with SNA which has been enabled by default for raring.
