How about actually giving some input about the hardware? Maybe the computer
you want to install Kubuntu on has some non-supported hardware, which might
be the case for some very old SiS graphic cards for example ... comparing 2
computers with different hardware can't be done 1:1 anyway.

Also: how did you install and do you have verified sources? e.g. did you
check the md5sum against the downloaded ISO?

We can do this step by step, but you will need to first provide more
information.

Regards,
Myriam
