Fresh Install - Graphical Errors on Desktop - KWin instant crash?

[Vidus]

I did a fresh install of kUbuntu 17.10 desktop i386. Computer is hooked to working Internet modem with Ethernet cable. Selected download updates and download 3rd party software while installing. Installation is successful. kUbuntu logs on fine. However when it gets to the desktop there is a graphical glitch, thin horizontal lines, https://imgur.com/a/Ou2oq, at the top and bottom of the screen. Clicking around the desktop does nothing.

Sometimes "KWin will crash."
Details: Executable kwin_x11
PID: 1916
Signal Segmentation fault (11)

Pressing Cltr+Alt+Del works fine and I can Suspect, Restart, Power Down, Log Off, and On without any problems. Logging Off then On makes the desktop completely black, but I can still see and move the mouse cursor.

These graphical glitches and desktop "locking" occurs even when I use the install disc live in the "Try kUbuntu" mode. Thank you.

CPU - i686 2210 Mhz

Looks like a compositor failure.

Can you open a terminal and post the output of:

inxi -Fxz

Your PC Specs are ‘bare bones minimum’ for running any recent version of Kubuntu. Do you know if your CPU is a ‘dual-core’ or not? What video card is in your PC?

I do not know how. What would be the hotkey combo to bring up the terminal say from Cltr+Alt+Del or right on boot up?

Single core. Integrated graphics circuits; 126MB memory allocated (max).

With a single core CPU, it is not going to be very likely you will get any decent performance. The minimum CPU requirement calls for a dual-core. Your PC might do you better with a lighter variant of Linux. If you want to stick with the Ubuntu core, then Xubuntu may be a better choice.
