    Display Manger fallback, after Installation

    When Installing Kubuntu on a 32-bit computer, why can't a fallback display manager be part of the final installation, do you how many times I have been left looking stupid when showing live disc of Kubuntu of family or friends who seen my Linux system and said wow, I like the look and speed of laptop, and said they don't want to by another window Operating system, when they ask I tell them using Linux Kubuntu and after reboot nothing but the pointer.

    Please can someone suggest that this be a big part of 32-bit iso of Kubuntu going forward, think of all the business and hospitals and schools saving the money cause of this important feature they save I Don`t know where to send this and hoping someone will, Please Please bring this to attention of Kubuntu developers to include it. we 32-bit uses are still going strong cause of all you out there but Linux gives us the freedom to keep using our computers for another 20 years. God save Linux!

    Did you choose the checkbox for installing 3rd party yada-yada during installation? Were you connected to the internet during installation? Anything that works on the live CD should work post-install.
    Also, if Ubuntu isn't going to continue supporting 32-bit anymore, is Kubuntu?
    I don't know for sure, but I just assumed all 'buntu flavors would follow suit and only offer 64-bit from now on.

            Looks like 18.04 is the very last one to support 32-bit:

            OMG Ubuntu: "Kubuntu Drops 32-bit Install Images"

            For kicks and grins, perhaps you should try to download a different ISO? Maybe an older version from here? http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/kubuntu/

            See if your results differ.
