Timothy, I am afraid I don't know the command line equivalents to some of the GUI operations I performed in my instructions. However, before we give up, lets see if I can get to you the safegraphics mode.
1. Reboot your computer. Wait until your BIOS finishes loading and a Sony VAIO logo displays on your screen. As soon as you see the logo, hold down a "shift" key. 2. This should bring up a text boot loader message that will allow you to select a mode for booting up into a recovery mode 3. Select the recovery mode and hit the enter key. 4. This should allow your computer to continue booting and eventually bring up a recovery mode menu. 5. From the recovery mode menu (I can't remember the exact options) you want to select a safe graphics mode. 6. This will bring up another menu to allow you to select a low graphics resolution. At some point Ubuntu will ask if you want to continue in low graphics mode. Just select yes. 7. Your system should boot up to a Gnome desk top and allow you to do everything else you could before (except at a miserable graphics resolution. Let me know if this works for you.
