    Easy answer is reinstall from your live cd, then update and install the restricted extras to make sure you have all the drivers that are available.

    If you have a command line available, you might just run

    sudo apt-get install <package-name>

    I had a similar experience. I just wanted to uninstall some stuff I never used. This led to the entire desktop disappear. I guess they made several apps "that everyone should have" dependent on each other so as to make support easier, I dunno. Would be nice if there was some extra warning in synaptics when uninstalling these.

    low graphics mode

    Looks the proper graphics diver isn't installed . when booting hold down the shift key until the grub menu loads , then choose the recovery kernel and wait for a dialog .Then choose fix broken packages . An update/configuration should run and you will then get another dialog, choose normal boot.
    Once you're booted into the desktop successfully choose admin / hardware and install the recommended graphics driver.
