I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a HP pavilion Laptop. I am getting this error and unable to get into desktop.

I have tried this "How to fix "The system is running in low-graphics mode" error?" method but no matter what I do I cannot open GRUB menu neither can I fix this issue.

I believe I took the wrong decision to shift from Windows to Ubuntu just for being open source. I completely formatted OEM Windows 8 and now I am left with dead laptop.

NOTE: I cannot log into any menu so I can enter any commands, all I see is tty1 menu (Black screen command prompt style)

  • To access GRUB: "Hold down (right) SHIFT to display the menu during boot. **In certain cases, pressing the ESC key may also display the menu.**" if this won't work perhaps [Boot-Repair](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair) helps. Did you try to disable some UEFI Settings https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI ? – TuKsn May 23 '14 at 08:50

    You probably do not need to go into grub to fix your low graphics error. What video card do you have? Can you post the output of `xrandr`. If you have Nvidia graphics, did you install the proprietary drivers? – bain May 23 '14 at 11:46

    Thanks to all, upon some research running this command "sudo apt-get install fglrx" in the prompt window that I mentioned above fixed the issue. – user284481 May 23 '14 at 14:36
