Bug Description

When booting from an intrepid beta live cd (32bit),
I can't get to the graphical environment.
After booting, a window appears that says "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode"
and gives me options to view X server log files and such,
but gnome won't start.

I have an nvidia geforce 7050, probably it has to do with that.

I'm running hardy (64bit) fine (using the restricted nvidia drivers).
The hardy live cd (64 bit) also starts gnome (with a wrong resolution, but at least it starts gnome).

Thanks. Could you please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old from the live session?

I tried again with the 64bit intrepid beta.
I had the same problem.
The following attachments are from the 64bit.
