Bug Description
After successfully installing 13.04 on my Dell XPS 15z, I restarted the laptop, successfully booting into Ubuntu with no issues.
Restarting after that then gives the 'System is running in low graphics mode' message.
I can only boot in recovery mode
As mentioned in bug 982889 comment#5
"A workaround is to add some sleep to /etc/init/
sleep 10
exec lightdm"
This works around the issue. However, with further testing it was found that bug 982889 was not being bit and the fix does not fix this bug.
The crash report is here: bug 1127023
Extra info:
This is an repost of bug 1124661 as I submitted that in recovery mode
Other dell users seem to be experiencing similar issues: http://
I installed and use the parameters mentioned here: https:/
I have an optimus card, which the Nvidia card should be disabled as it does not work

@Adam Bruce: I suggest you read these guides on how to use Bumblebee to enable Optimus support as that seems to be the issue at hand...
