after much search and unable to find a solution to this problem I am starting to think I have a unique/difficult case.

After rebooting the system following the initial install I faced the "Low Graphics Problem". I searched the Internet and found this extremely helpful link:

How to fix "The system is running in low-graphics mode" error?

I tried to do it the Recovery Mode -> FailsafeX way but was unable to get in.

After this i went to the cli. There I realized that my computer is not connected to the internet.

After reading some questions online and some helpful troubleshooting in #ubuntu in freenode.net. I tried to get more information by entering the following commands:

  • lspci -nnk -d :0280 # this resulted in blank, nothing came up
  • ubuntu-drivers list # showed one isntalled driver for the Nvidia graphics card. Also tried to install the same graphics card on the suggestion of a freenode contributor but that effort failed.
  • tried nmtuid but there are no wifi connections shown.
  • sudo lsusb and sudo lspci # listed devices but did not have the wireless card in there.
  • sudo lsmod # this also did not have the wireless card listed.

Along with this I have tried all the ways to trouble shoot listed in many ask ubuntu question. I couldn't apply them primarily because the solutions required an internet connection.

also along the way I found this awesome article.

https://www.datamation.com/open-source/overcoming-ubuntu-wi-fi-not-working.html

I read it but I am not very technical at all. I tried to follow along but couldn't after the writer started manually loading the modules.

Also if it helps I have a Asus Z370-e motherboard. I have an Nvidia graphics card.

Any help would be most appreciated!

Thank you.

  • Just to check - you have recently had this system connected to WiFi? Does it work when booting from the installation media? Is your WiFi adapter built in, or do you have a USB dongle; can you test with a spare dongle? Is the router-modem in the same room? – pbhj Jun 15 '18 at 18:28
  • I have a similar experience... When I switch on my laptop (HP Mini) with out pulling any strings... it boots but just before showing login greeter it gives me an "Low graphic error".. then I have to chose some options to fix this problem and pass... after login I see the Wifi device is not ready!... BUT IF at GRUB I chose "Recovery Mode" and in the action selection I chose to just "BOOT NORMALLY"... It boots without any single graphic error or problem connecting wifi... I want to get rid of this "going to grub and select RECOVERY mode, each time I want to turn on my Laptop!" PLEASE HELP! – Omid Ghayour Jun 20 '18 at 23:02

I have the same problem on several systems. I noticed that:

  • WiFi shows: device not ready.
  • Wired connection does not work.
  • The keybord is set to default (en), not "it" as set.
  • Sometimes it boots correctly.

Re-install linux-header* linux-image* lightdm* don't solve the problem.

Workaround:

Ctrl-Alt-F1, login, then:

sudo service lightdm restart

At least this works... I can login with graphic, wifi, keyboard etc. All work correctly... for one time!
