Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
I have an Acer Aspire One D250-1165 (blacklisted b43 to get it to boot) dmesg| grep -i intel reveals: Intel 945GME Chipset Boots up to trying to start gdm, which fails and then drops to a command-line login prompt. I set up wired networking manually and sudo aptitude'd to get the lastest packages, which includes kernel 2.6.32-22 I downloaded read-edid and ran a get-edid|parse-edid and added that to the failsafe xorg.conf file (which I made from the xorg.conf.failsafe one) and edited out the other monitor settings. All to no avail. When I try from a root prompt /etc/init.d/gdm start I get a basic GUI with an error dialog saying: Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode (and that settings couldn't be detected blah,blah) and that I need to reconfig myself (this error didn't change before or after my attempted manipulations). I hit OK, and am taken to a What would you like to do? dialog Run ubuntu in low-graphics mode for just one session Reconfigure graphics Troubleshoot the error Exit to console login Restart X I tried the first to run in low-graphics mode. I get dialog that states "Stand by one minute while the display restarts" but nothing happens. I eventually hit OK, but this just took me back to a command prompt. Hope a work-around and fix is available soon.
