I installed at first Ubuntu 12.04 , then 12.10 on a fresh built custom PC with a Intel Core i7 3770, OCZ Vertex 4 SSD and 16GB DDR3-1600 Ram on a ASRock Z77E-ITX Mainboard. After both installations I ended up randomly in this "low graphics mode".
Entering "sudo service lightdm restart" after login in the text console worked, but naturally this isn't a very comfortable solution So I tried the workaround from Michael (starkpc) in post #16 and it did work for me – even with a sleep value of only 1. For now I'm good I suppose... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070150 Title: Intermittent low graphics mode with Intel HD graphics To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1070150/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
