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

My problem came after doing a normal packages update in 12.04 and then reboot to never been able to boot normally, it appear the "The system is running in low-graphics mode" window and then I tried to fix the problem reinstalling the gmd.

Now I'm reinstalling the whole system, from the USB boot it went everything as usual before that update. I just want to never have to reinstall Ubuntu in this way again. Any thoughts?

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on an Acer Aspire One D255

On my Acer Aspire One 722, I observed the X-server freezing after a minor update to kernel:

3.2.0-27-generic-pae #43-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 6 15:06:05 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

This seems to be connected to the WLAN driver.

The X server restarts correctly after changing to the console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and killing the hanging X server. However this is only a workaround, and not a fix. As another suggestion: switching off WLAN before booting might work as well.
