[SOLVED] Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode

[dale456654]

Everytime I start my computer it says "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode".
None of the options it gives me works except "Exit to console login" I choose this and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" then type "startx" but the next time I start my computer it does the same thing again. Its kind of annoying bbecause I have to set the resolution and set up emerald and compiz again.

Which Graphics Card do you have?
Post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file here.

I have an Nvidia 9800 GT.

Ubuntu downloaded the drivers for me ages ago right after install...

Backup xorg.conf file and create an empty xorg.conf file.

cd /etc/X11
sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.1
sudo touch xorg.conf

Execute this to reconfigure display.

sudo nvidia-settings

Save configuration and reboot machine.

Thanks for your reply!

I backed it up and made a new blank one and tried "sudo nvidia-settings" and it said,

VALIDATION ERROR:  Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
At least one Device section is required.

Segmentation fault

It also told me that I should run nvidia-xconfig and restart.

I done this then tried "sudo nvidia-settings" again and configured it, clicked apply then clicked save to x configuration file and restarted, but the problem is still there?

I fixed it!

I done a "sudo apt-get remove gdm" and then a "sudo apt-get install gdm" and now its logging in again!

Kinda weird that fixed... bit yeah...
