I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a HP pavilion Laptop. I am getting this error and unable to get into desktop.

I have tried this "How to fix "The system is running in low-graphics mode" error?" method but no matter what I do I cannot open GRUB menu neither can I fix this issue.

I believe I took the wrong decision to shift from Windows to Ubuntu just for being open source. I completely formatted OEM Windows 8 and now I am left with dead laptop.

NOTE: I cannot log into any menu so I can enter any commands, all I see is tty1 menu (Black screen command prompt style)

  • To access GRUB: "Hold down (right) SHIFT to display the menu during boot. In certain cases, pressing the ESC key may also display the menu." if this won't work perhaps Boot-Repair helps. Did you try to disable some UEFI Settings https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI ? – TuKsn May 23 '14 at 08:50

    You probably do not need to go into grub to fix your low graphics error. What video card do you have? Can you post the output of xrandr. If you have Nvidia graphics, did you install the proprietary drivers? – bain May 23 '14 at 11:46

    Thanks to all, upon some research running this command "sudo apt-get install fglrx" in the prompt window that I mentioned above fixed the issue. – user284481 May 23 '14 at 14:36
