The System is Running in low-graphics mode FOG

So I tried doing a SQL backup of one of my FOG Servers before doing an update since I got a message on the Web UI of Database Schema Installer / Updater. I then restarted the server and it gave an error at startup saying that ‘The System is Running in low-graphics mode’. I then restarted the server (before running the update) and went into the GRUB menu and tried doing failsafeX and it gave the same result. ‘The System is Running in low-graphics mode’ I also tried doing CTRL+ALT+F1 to go to the terminal and it would not let me do anything instead it gave errors about lightdm service failed to start.



I am running Ubuntu Server 16.04. I have Ubuntu Desktop UI installed. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it with the same result. I do have a known good backup of my server, but is there any ideas at all? The only changes done to this server is simply adding new images and going from bg.png to bg_dark.png for the pxe menu that is it.



This is on a PowerEdge T330 Tower…



I can only access the terminal through PuTTY.



Any ideas because I am stuck on this.
