    The system is running in low-graphics mode

    I have windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.10 installed.
    One day, I couldn't login. I wrote the correct password, it showed a black screen for a little and showed me the login screen again.
    I tried sudo apt-get install gdm in CTRL + ALT + F1, then I rebooted my computer. When I rebooted, it showed me a message
    (without the cursor)
    I have a wireless mouse, so I can't use it there. When I pressed ENTER on my keyboard, it showed me another message

    I got stuck there and ENTER doesn't do anything.
    Can anyone help me?

    Uninstall your graphic card drivers from a console (tty1, tty2, tty3, tty4, etc), then reboot (sudo reboot).

    Yes. Do you have an AMD/ATI-based or a nVidia-based graphic card?

    Code:
    sudo apt-get purge nvidia-* && sudo reboot
    Run this and your computer will uninstall the drivers and reboot.

    No. It will not affect Windows 8 in any way. Please take a look at the re-edited command in my post.
