Public bug reported: I installed Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop on my Dell XPS 1330 (Nvidia 8400M GS). The Live CD session works great and installation was no problem. But after the first reboot I get the error message: "ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode".
On the terminal I tried to install manually: nvidia-173 nvidia-173-updates or nvidia-current nvidia-current-updates But non of the two packages resolves my problem. So i tried to install the nvidia driver with "jockey-text". $ jockey-text -c $ jockey-text -u $ jockey-text -a $ jockey-text -C Additional Drivers Downloading and installing driver... Sorry, installation of this driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log $ For me it's not important to install the proprietary Nvidia driver. I just would like to use the system. If possible with the nouveau or with the nvidia driver ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: jockey-common 0.9.6-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-7.13-generic-pae 3.2.0-rc7 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-7-generic-pae i686 ApportVersion: 1.90-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 Date: Thu Jan 5 17:40:03 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha i386 (20120102) MachineType: Dell Inc.
