URGENT: low-graphics mode, Systems hangs forever

Post by alex380 »

Hi,

after I managed to resize the partition/hard drive/image/whateverof the Ubuntu 12.04 in a VirtualBox (VirtualBox 4.2.0 in Windows XP) I got the message:

The system is running in low-graphics mode

I click on "Reconfigure graphics" which show me two options:

- Use default (generic) configuration
- Use your backed-upconfiguration

Both do not do anything!!


I would like to post the xserver log file, but I would need to type all of it (my clipboard is not working either ).

Chosing te point "Run in low-graphics mode for just one session"

gives

Stand by one minute while the display restarts hangs

but nothing happens. This hangs indefinitively. But I am able to login to a console.

ANY IDEAS how I can fix this? Or should I just remove everything and install a new Ubuntu box from scratch? Does this have to do with the resizing of the VirtualBox? It must be , because I had not had this eror before.

ANY IDEA IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!


Thanks
Alex

Moved to "Linux Guests", as the Windows Host seems to be irrelevant to your questions.
