Title:
  "Try it" installs kwallet differently than "Install now"

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  ISO testing 20.04 Kubuntu daily image (20200323). Something involving
  Kwallet & wifi is installed differently depending on whether I take
  the path "try it" (and install from Live desktop), or "install now."

  1. When I install from the Live Desktop (after clicking "try it," and
  then reboot the installed system, wifi doesn't automatically connect
  (as other Ubuntu desktop flavors do after wifi was used during the
  install). I have to manually connect, at which point Kwallet makes me
  set up a password (with no indication a null password is acceptable).

  2. When I install from "Install now," and reboot, wifi automatically
  connects. I don't have to mess around with Kwallet. Apparently
  everything is working with a null Kwallet password.

  The #1 behavior has bothered me for awhile. It hasn't felt normal to
  me. It took a month to learn that I could enter a null password and
  never be bothered by it again. I've been debating opening a bug about
  it (because it doesn't seem inviting to new users who have no idea why
  it works this way, or null is a valid password).

  I just tried "Install now" and it worked different. I think that's a
  valid bug. They should work the same, I'm sure. IMO, #2 is the proper
  behavior. If it worked that way, I would have much less concern with
  Kwallet creating an unpleasantness for new users. With #2, everything
  works the way a new user would expect it to work. (So, if/when those
  two paths to install work the same: I hope #2 is the way they both
  work.).
