[Bug 1890392] [NEW] xubuntu 20.04.1 qa-test install, unable to select download-updates; locate is not detected

[Chris Guiver]

Public bug reported:

Xubuntu 20.04.1 daily QA-test install on
hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)

** Summary of issue
- Unable to click/change "Download updates during install" checkbox
- Location offered is also incorrect.
ie. install feels like network is undetected, however it is.

** Longer form
This issue has occurred on multiple installs today on this box.
The issue is small, and I asked but got no answer on #xubuntu-devel ~6 hours ago about raising bug, but it's appeared on other install types since.

The QA-testcase requires me to check "download updates" is available. I
cannot CLICK or change that box; it's fixed on unchecked.

When it gets to my location/timezone, it listed me as New York (if I
remember correctly), where as I'm in Melbourne/AU. I had NO trouble
changing my location using mouse though.

I can switch to text terminal (ctrl+alt+F4) and I've got an IP address,
can ping my ISPs address to so networking is good.  (this is reported
after lvm+encryption install has completed & is now asking for reboot)

The operation of the install however works flawlessly (tested install-
alongside, full disk lvm+encryption..) so this issue is MINOR & mostly
mentioned due QA testcase
