The last time that happened to me, there was an update to only the i386 kernel which is installed by default. I run either the &quot;generic&quot; or a custom kernel on all my machines. When the i386 kernel was updated, it was moved to the 1st rank in /boot/grub/menu.lst<br>
<br>Make sure you are still booting the same kernel...the restricted drivers are dependent on it.<br><br>If that&#39;s not it, then it demands closer inspection.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 28, 2008 at 10:56 AM, Harold &lt;<a href="mailto:hmichels01@earthlink.net">hmichels01@earthlink.net</a>&gt; wrote:<br>

My fairly new Dell Inspirion 530 is running Ubuntu 7.10<br>
<br>
The system seemed to be running correctly this afternoon.<br>
<br>
When I booted it up last night a pop-up window said that Ubuntu is<br>
running in low graphics mode<br>
<br>
It ould not let me set it at better than 800x600.<br>
I had been running about 1200 x something.<br>
<br>
When logged into sudo and listed my /boot directory to check on the<br>
settings is empty.<br>
<br>
I tried to look at the log files but there are so many I do not know<br>
where to start.<br>
The file user.log gives the same messages I have been getting for the<br>
last month at least:<br>
<br>
Feb 27 21:32:35 dell dhcdbd: message_handler: message handler not found<br>
under /com/redhat/dhcp/eth0 for sub-path eth0.dbus.get.nis_servers<br>
<br>
which I do not understand.<br>
<br>
The machine did boot into Gnome desktop.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions on where to start?<br>
<br>
Do I need to reload Ubuntu completely or can I copy files in to restore<br>
correct operation?<br>
Have I picked up a bug I need to be concerned about?<br>
<br>
