Before the command "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart", I use one of this commands: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I use this to over-write (I had the best result with the second). But remember: this is provisional way to get the graphical environment (if you cann ' t stop working). I do not know the definitive solution, but I tried different ways until I arrived to have that PC reasonably working . If you try this and tell us you results.
