Public bug reported:
Whereas ubiquity has a way to install third-party proprietary drivers,
such as for Broadcom wireless chips or NVIDIA graphics, Calamares does
not. As it stands, Calamares offers no warning about this, leaving
installs in potential unusable states without additional packages being
installed. Graphics issues can most likely be circumvented with virtual
terminals but the process of dealing with a wireless chip is much more
difficult, unless ethernet is readily available.
Solving this will likely require a new Calamares module to be created to
deal specifically with this. Whether or not it would have any value to
other distros is a question, so we lump this with the more unique
package calamares-settings-ubuntu which also includes our unique
automirror module.
