** Description changed:
- TODO.
+ [Impact]
+
+ Currently installing bionic 18.04.6 candidate images on a system that
+ uses non-free drivers (via ubuntu-drivers) will fail installing those
+ additional drivers. The reason for that is that the call to simple-
+ plugins fails as it tries to execute `ubuntu-drivers autoinstall (...)
+ --package-list (...)`, which is syntax that has been deprecated in the
+ current ubuntu-drivers-common package.
+
+ The fix is to use `ubuntu-drivers install ...` as we do for focal+.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ Rebuild images with the -proposed ubiquity (or hack it in manually to an
iso), perform installation on a system using ubuntu-drivers (for instance,
NVidia GPU), check "Install third-party software...", finish installation and
check if the installed system has the required drivers installed.
+ Additionally a quick browse through the syslog of the ubiquity installation
would be a nice double-check.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ Currently installing ubuntu-drivers via ubiquity does not work at all,
+ so the only regression here is that the new argument might be somehow
+ incomplete causing not all drivers to be installed.
