I have some problem with my Ubuntu 13.04, after installing it with Oracle VM Virtual Box.

So, after I have installed it, I reboot my virtual machine, and I saw the Log - in screen. But when I typed my login and password, the screen became dark and I got this error 'The system is running in low-graphics mode' .

To solve this problem, I have found many information on different forums. Using this link

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

I tried to install the driver on my Video card. It should be noted, that I have two videocards on my laptop:

  1. AMD Radeon HD HD7670M
  2. simple Intel video card

So, firstly I tried to install ATI drivers. And after logging in screen I could see the standart wallpaper of Ubuntu, also I could click the Right button on the mouse standart menu was opened, where I could choose one of this: create a folder, create a document, change the wallpaper etc. BUT NOTHING ELSE!!!

When I tried to install the Intel drivers, I got the same result.

What is the problem?

Please, try to help me!

Try to completely remove your ATI drivers from your system:

sudo apt-get purge fglrx*

Remove your xorg.conf

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Reinstall xorg completely

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64

Re-configure Xorg

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Reboot

sudo reboot

Now you should reconfigure Unity. It will remove Unity completely.

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:unity-team/staging
apt-get install unity

Install Unity again.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install unity
sudo reboot

It works for me just great.

  • Ok, I'll try it. – Onufreyiv Jun 05 '13 at 14:34
  • It didn't help. When I tried to reinstall xorg completely, I had a message that such catalogs wasn't found. – Onufreyiv Jun 05 '13 at 16:11
  • Yes, I had it too, but follow the instruction to the end. – Heramaas Jun 05 '13 at 16:30
  • My laptop has ati 7670 and core i7 CPU, I try a lot of solutions and It's the only one that works fine. – Heramaas Jun 05 '13 at 17:46
  • I tried to do it one more time. But it didn't help. As a result, after logging, I obtain a dark screen with a cursor, and after some time there appears a message about an internal error in Ubuntu 13.04. Maybe there could be something else? Maybe another error or I missed something. What do you think? – Onufreyiv Jun 05 '13 at 18:38
  • Could You describe all process of installing Your Ubuntu, please? For example version of Ubuntu, installing process, what You had seen when starting Your Ubuntu at first time, Your actions to 'repair' the system, everything what could be essential for me. – Onufreyiv Jun 05 '13 at 19:51
  • Before I do them, I had use this:

    dconf reset -f /org/compiz/

  • Also I made a little change to the instruction (for make it exactly like what I did). Do that again precisely and remember never use AMD driver again until driver's bug gets fixed. – Heramaas Jun 05 '13 at 23:13
