Title:
  Proprietary drivers are installed locally and not on the target system

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic:
  New

Bug description:
  On a system with hardware requiring proprietary drivers (eg nVidia graphics card), when the user selects to install restricted add-ons and proprietary drivers, ubuntu-drivers runs immediately when the installer exits the prepare step.
  Doing so it installs the drivers on the live session. However this step is not executed in the target filesystem afterward, once its ready.
  Therefore, after installation, the proprietary drivers are not installed on the system.

  The installation of proprietary drivers must happen in the live
  session, for network drivers for example, and in the target system for
  all the drivers supported by the system.
