Few days back I faced this error while installing other desktop environment on my PC. The error was "The system is running in low-graphics mode"
So now I decided to share this tip with you guys, If you face any problem in your Ubuntu or Linux Mint or Ubuntu based Distro. This is common bug of Lightdm.
fix system running low graphics
fix error

First enter this commands:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-greeter
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
Then enter this command to open Lightdm text file:
sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Now change this line (greeter-session=.........) to following line:
greeter-session=unity-greeter
or 
greeter-session=ubuntu
