"The system is running in low-graphics mode" for Ubuntu on VM VirtualBox

When I installed Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS into VirtualBox, it prompts "The system is running in low-graphics mode". I tried 6 soutions which solved the problem for other people but not me. Although I do not the exactly intrinsic reason, the following command finally served me well:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot
I hope it can also help you.

  1. I think the problem happened because you run your system with a old (or default) monitor driver. The "apt-get" command only upgrade all your softwares (including driver).

    By the way, I remember that VirtualBox has a host package, which could speed up the display. You had better install it.
