The indicator light for the Wifi on/off switch does not come on.This confuses quite a few customers (who have turned off their Wifi but do not know how to verify that they have done so). The solution can be found at the following link With thanks to Levi for the fix.

Issue

When booting off a standard Ubuntu 10.04 image, the Ubuntu splash screen appears and then displays a Low-graphics mode prompt.

Solution

This occurs because the Xserver is, for whatever reason, expecting an nVidia driver despite not having an nVidia GPU. You can confirm this with the following command:

 lspci -k | grep -iA2 vga

In this case, there was a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf that explicitly had an nvidia driver listed. Changing the file to ask for an intel driver didn't work, so just deleting the xorg.conf and xorg.conf.fallback files forced the Xserver to initialize a new configuration file based on the hardware in the system.

To summarize, run the following command to solve this issue:

 sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf* ; sudo reboot
