A little update: Yesterday uninstalled python (apt-get remove python) which turned out to remove tons of other stuff as well. After reboot, I now invariably get the "ubuntu running in low graphics mode" error. But when I do a login in via console, and then run startx, my desktop is perfecly normal and my "apperance settings" bug is gone! I even get the hibernate/suspend option back when i logout which was also missing before.
So in effect, it seems I have traded one problem for another, but this is certainly much better. It's only a minor nuisance to do the console login + startx myself. Currently I'm manually reinstalling packages (using "apt-cache rdepends python") so hopefully I will encounter the package that is the cause of these problems. -- Appearance settings do not work in Xubuntu 10.10 RC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/652731 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
