Hello all,
let us start with the problem. After making and update my Karmic Koala and trying to set up lamp through tasksell, i have rebooted my notebook. Then the ubuntu logo was displayied and i get an
"Ubuntu is eunnung in low graphics mode"
(EE) open /dev/fe0: No such file or dierctory
i have done some googling and figured that it has most likely to do with ubuntu tryin to using frame buffer wrongly. I have tried to follow some advices posted at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#Setting%20different%20framebuffer%20re solutions%20in%20GRUB
like this
"vga=normal", or "nofb", disables the framebuffer
if "nofb" does not help, try "nomodeset" to disable kernel mode setting
"vga=ask" will able you to set a value at each boot good for testing out the various modes.
non of them worked. Than i thought i run grub2 (in fact it is 1.97~beta4), so i tried to run this
http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/howto/adjust_grub2_framebuffer
to set at least the right resolution to the frame buffer. However i put there a wrong resolution (my mistake obviously). The problem is that now all the screen turns black (after i select the system in Grub menu) and i can't see the command line, so i am helpless.
So now i get to GRUB menu, i can edit the line by hitting 'e' and i get
recordfail=1
if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi
set quiet=1insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,5)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set c763a81d-d00b-4880-9111-9c305affc67b
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-20-generic root=UUID=c763a81d-d00b-4880-9111-9c305affc67b ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-20-generic
so this is right now everything i can edit, and i would need either to set/remove the framebuffer or get back the commandline somehow so i can do the trick through /etc/default/grub.
Any ideas? Pleas hope i am quite desperate
i have tried to put into the kernel/linux line
'nomodeset'
'nofb'
'i915.modeset=0' at various places
remove 'quiet'
put the 'nosplash' 'nomodeset'
put there 'single'
use Ctrl-Alt_F1 and Ctrl-Alt-Esc to get the console (However i run vista as a dual boot so i have pressed the key after selecting the system)
recovery more also yields a black screen
Nothing has worked so far.
