64-bit 3.8.0-9-generic #18-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 28 17:02:06 UTC 2013 Desktop with Intel e8500 cpu, Nvidia GT9500 and default (non-Nvidia) video driver. I get this problem frequently following a restart from 12.04. Pressing the reset button or executing a FULL power shutdown prior to completion of booting 13.04 will usually eliminate this problem. This would imply that a hardware state that is properly initialized following a reset or full power shutdown is NOT being properly initialized during a warm reboot. On occasion, I have also had to update/install grub, either from 12.04 or a via fix a broken system from a server CD. -- 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.
