I am planning to package FBuntu into PPA for easier distribution.

The nature of this app is that the user has to make specific edits to the auth.py file to make it work and hence I am stuck from proceeding any further.

A default first couple of lines of auth.py looks like this:

import facebook

class facebookAuthentication:
    def __init__(self):
        url = "https://..."
        self.parse_url(url)

The user after branching FBuntu from the bazaar, has to manually edit the url with the one you get after authenticating with Facebook. I have no idea on how to make an app be edited after a deb package has been generated.

Any guidance on how to proceed with packaging this would be welcome.

Note:

This is an attempt to create a canonical question that covers all instances of "low-graphics mode" error that occurs to a user, including but not limited to installation of wrong drivers, incorrect or invalid lightdm greeters, low disk space, incorrect installation of graphics card like ATI and Nvidia, incorrect configuration of xorg.conf file while setting up multiple monitors among others.

If you are experiencing the "low-graphics mode" error when trying to login but none of the following answers work for you, please do ask a new question and then update the answers of this canonical question as and when your new question gets answered.

When I try to boot into my computer, I am getting this error:

The system is running in low-graphics mode

Your screen, graphics cards, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself.

fail-safe X mode

How do I fix the failsafe X mode and login into my computer?

I am trying to stream a Internet radio station using a browser. It appears like it is loading but I don't hear any sound. This is the station I am trying to stream: http://tunein.com/tuner/?StationId=68906 (It is a regional radio station and is in Tamil.)

When I try to stream it in Rhythmbox, I get the following error message:

Required plugin could not be found Python (v2.7) requires to install plugins to play media files of the following type: text/html decoder

I don't think this is a network firewall problem because I can listen to the radio when I am on Windows 7. I am expecting it to be an issue of a missing plugin.

I installed Ubuntu 11.10 and then after that, I upgraded my Lubuntu 10.10 to 11.04. The grub2 initiated through the installation overwrote the grub written by Ubuntu. After that, I can't find any boot entries leading to Ubuntu or Windows 7 in the grub menu. How do I recover the grub2 which has all the menus?

Here are the outputs for update-grub and fdisk -l

update-grub :

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-11-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-11-generic

Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin

fdisk -l
