Hello Ask Ubuntu community. I've been trying to setup / load Ubuntu for a while now, but It won't let me set it up. I get the error "The system is running in low graphics mode" and I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti graphics card.
I put the ISO file on a USB, it's on the USB and all just fine. It doesn't give me any boot options when I start up my PC so I have to go to Charmbar > Settings > Update and Recovery > Recovery then restart through Advanced Setup to load Ubuntu for the first time. I tried following guides by doing sudo apt-get install nvidia-current sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates in terminal but they don't work. The reason they don't work is because they require me to reboot the computer. Like I said earlier I can't reboot my PC as once I do it just goes straight back to Windows 8.1. So whenever I go to load Ubuntu again it just restores back to where the low-graphics mode is. So I was wondering how do I bypass the low-graphics mode when I have the problems that I do?

You install a wrong driver for this card. Run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo apt-get install nvidia-346

For all the packages it says "Package 'blank' is not installed so not removed" When i try to install nvidia-346 it says "Unable to locate package nvidia-346"– SpeedAug 17, 2015 at 18:34

Okay worked so far, but what do i do after? Restart the machine (which i cant due to what I said in the post) or what other method would get rid of the low graphics mode error?– SpeedAug 17, 2015 at 19:25

I do not understand why can't you reboot. Did you do it booting from USB? Then you can boot with
nomodesetparameter, install Ubuntu and then install this driver.– Pilot6Aug 17, 2015 at 19:29 -
I cant reboot because when I it loads to windows and doesn't show a boot menu. There for I have to enter Ubuntu through the windows advanced settings.– SpeedAug 17, 2015 at 19:41
