Failing to Install on Lubuntu 18.04

Hello guys,
I have installed Lubuntu onto a desktop PC which I intend to use as the schools kolibri server. have had no problems installing on Ubuntu 16.04 (not tested on Ubuntu 18.04), however with Lubuntu 18.04 kolibri will not start, and systemctl status kolibri.service results in the folowing:

`elite-admin@elite-ubuntu1:~/Downloads$ systemctl status kolibri.service
● kolibri.service - LSB: kolibri daemon, an offline education platform

Hello again,
any advice on the above issue?

Hi @eliteschools,

Can you try installing our latest Kolibri 0.9.1 (0.9.1-0ubuntu2) from our PPA: https://launchpad.net/~learningequality/+archive/ubuntu/kolibri, where we just added python3-distutils to the package to resolve this issue. Please feel free to let me know if the new Kolibri build still doesn’t fix the error. Thank you!
