Hi

Two problems on my Dell Inspiron 1525:

1) After a recent update of Kubuntu 16.04 LTS x64 some buttons (for example the menu button of firefox or the downloads button do not work. I click on the button but nothing appears

2) I'm not able to install the latest version 18.04.01 of Kubuntu x64. Errors in the image (280569) .

I have tried to modify the GRUB inserting nomodeset or nvidia-drm.modeset=1. But this hasn't help

It looks like that system only has Intel video, so boot parameters for nVidia will not normally help, but you may need Intel video boot parameter(s).

This suggests: video=SVIDEO-1:d

This suggests: sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel

Ubuntu and Debian (and thus other Debian-based distributions too) have abandoned the xf86-video-intel X.Org driver for all recent generations of Intel graphics hardware and instead makes use of the xf86-video-modesetting generic driver in its place.

I have tried to remove xserver-xorg-video-intel and to modify /etc/default/grub inserting video=SVIDEO-1:d but I have the same problems.
Any other ideas?
