I get this problem today to! Sometimes I get simply a black screen. I restarted my computer several times until I get logged in. I'm using Kubuntu Karmic.

Yesterday I received an update notification for sreadahead and ureadahead. Maybe these are causing the error?

it wasn't the same for me

i've installed some program and it did screwed everything up after i rebooted it was showing the "ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode"

i've tried few things nothing worked

however i did tried this

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

it may remove some programs that you may have installed but that's nothing compare to reinstalling the whole system again

did you lose all your media files too or not? just the extra programs that you had installed?
