Ubuntu Running on low graphics mode

go to system- administration-hardware drivers to activate video drivers you need

When I go to hardware drivers, the only driver I see is the wireless driver and that one is already active.
There is no driver for audio devices that pops up.

Hi :)

Are you still having the same troubles? Please let us know how it is going!

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hi Tom, thank you for checking in.

I didn't solve the problem but I just removed the upgrade and downloaded my system back to 8.04 and I have sound..

Hi :(

Ahh, ok. 8.04 is great and hopefully the 10.04 should work better next time you try it. It's always worth trying a LiveCd session before installing and often worth installing to a sandboxed partition at the end of your drive just to make sure things work the way you like, or can adapt to.

I am also having the Low Graphics Mode issue at the moment. I was hoping that you had found a way to drop the resolution or worked out how to deal with the all new Xorg that doesn't have an "Xorg.conf" file any-more. I guess i will find these things out some day.

Right no every time i boot into 10.04 i have to go through "Recovery mode" & choose the "failsafe" option which has annoyingly high resolution! lol

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

My Ubuntu 10.04 switches itself off and then asks me to run in low graphics or the options that Greg mentions. When I go to the hardware drivers the results is "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system"

@jan Greef please don't hesitate to made your own question from here:

Adding question here, don't help to solve the main question and must be to considered wrong.
Doing this don't help you and basically don't help the thread.

Thank you
