Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your help.
Unfortunately, the problem still exists. Still getting the error for low-graphics during boot.
I have to select the option “continue with low-graphics” to further start the system.

Please let me know what can i do to resolve this.
Thanks again.

Best
Shubham Dubey
