My problem came after doing a normal packages update in 12.04 and then reboot to never been able to boot normally, it appear the "The system is running in low-graphics mode" window and then I tried to fix the problem reinstalling the gmd.

Now I'm reinstalling the whole system, from the USB boot it went everything as usual before that update. I just want to never have to reinstall Ubuntu in this way again. Any thoughts?

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on an Acer Aspire One D255

In this case, kernel 3.3 has seen some very good power management enhancements that are… >>> More
