Crash low-graphics mode

[Rogério Nunes Wolff]

Since friday, 4/20/2018, when I did an upgrade in Ubuntu, I receive an error message:

    The system is running in low-graphics mode

    Your screen, graphics cards, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself.

Then, using tab key, I press OK, then I choose try the default, and everything works fine after this. But this is very annoying.

I've updated my Ubuntu every day and this bug continues.

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

[Rogério Nunes Wolff (rogeriowolff)]

This bug affected only Ubuntu 16.04. After I switched to Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04, the problem disappeared.

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

Thanks for your reply.
Will close as fixed in later releases of Ubuntu.
