[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu/Linux is still not an OS for the masses - discuss

[Melv Bailey]

Just seen Alan Bell's post and he has mentioned something no one else 
has, there is meant to be a failsafe X in low res mode.  I didnt know 
that and have not in 4 years seen that mentioned before.  Has anyone 
else ever seen Ubuntu boot in this failsafe mode?  What is meant to 
trigger this mode?

If it just worked then my son could do it but 4 out of 4 failures meant 
for me it didnt just work.
