Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Using Ubuntu/Kubuntu 9.10 on Toshiba Laptop with ATI radeon HD 3650
Today morning I did updated the system with updates available.
Following is the recent log entry in the Software update module in KDE.
Installed: ureadahead, ureadahead
Updated: x11-common, sreadahead, xserver-
After this update I get "Ubuntu running in low-graphics mode" error at the boot time and If I press cancel it boots me upto the normal login screen.
How to get rid of the this error?
Also I loose the com positioning (desktop effects), I need to manually resume the same. (ALT+SHIFT+F12).
Please resolve urgently.
Thanks, Manish
Edit: check this post as well for various experience on this particular issue:

Edit: this is caused by failsave-x starting if kdm is used and gdm is disabed since gdm will fail with exit status !=0 and thus triggering failsave-x. So this affects all users that use kdm while having gdm installed as well and kdm starting slower than failsave-x (they both race to start X first).
To fix this make sure that failsave-x checks that gdm is enabled before assuming that X is broken.
