After changing my main username after this tips, my Lubuntu laptop is only starting showing me only a dialog, that sais, it is in low-graphics mode with only one button "OK" and then a menu opens up with some options, but there I cannot select other than the first option:

What would you like to do?

[x] (Try running with default graphical mode)
[ ] (Reconfigure graphics)  
[ ] (Troubles boot the error)
[ ] (Exit to consol login)

                                    ([cancel] [ok])

I can reach cancel and "ok" with the TAB key, but I tried all combinations of TAB, arrow keys, enter, space and pg up and down to select another option than the first, but nothing worked. Also attaching a USB mouse makes no difference.

How can I reach the option "Reconfigure Graphics" ?

Note: I am leaving this question open, although I've already recovered from this low-graphics-state (see my answer below) and there are many options How to fix "The system is running in low-graphics mode" error?. It still would be interesting, how to change the selected option in that dialogue, when it seems not possible.

Try boot at recovery mode, low graphics, and choose"resume" option, after login, go-to settings/display and turn off every monitor not in use...

The solution to get rid of the low graphics warning was to install ubuntu-desktop over Lubuntu:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

When those were all installed, the Low-Graphics warning was gone, so I will never find out, how I could have reached the other options though.
