I want to install Ubuntu 16.04 32 bit on a Intel 2nd gen HCL Notebook Computer. While selecting "Install Ubuntu" option, it takes a me to some errors(nouveau failed to ....ide channel 2). After that a login screen comes.
It really hooks up my mind.
Mechine has two graphics cards
1 Intel
2 Nvidia 560M(Optimus Technology) .

Why 32 bit? Most work better with 64 bit unless you have very little RAM (less than 2GB) and then Lubuntu or other lightweight flavors are suggested.
That looks like a 64 bit system, or is a tablet or very small system with 32 bit UEFI but still 64 bit system?

Are you able to turn off nVidia in UEFI/BIOS and install using Intel, then once installed boot and add nVidia drivers?
Are you using nomodeset boot parameter?

At grub menu you can use e for edit, scroll to linux line and replace quiet splash with nomodeset.

While 32 bit 16.04 will be supported for its life.
