Bug Description
After a recent update (kernel?), I have begun to occasionally receive the message "Running in Low Graphics Mode" at boot (maybe half the time). I can tell it to use Default setting from the options it offers, and get by it, after which things look and work normally until a reboot, which may or may not occur correctly.
I also usually get "System error detected, Report? at the same time, so I agree to report it.
This problem shows up using GNOME Flashback or Unity.

Roger Davis, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
1) Could you please after which update specifically and when did this issue start to happen?
2) If you boot into previous kernels is this issue reproducible?
3) To see if this is already resolved in your release, could you please update your HWE stack as per https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Kernel/ LTSEnablementSt ack and advise to the results?
