[Bug 1868646] Re: "Try it" installs kwallet differently than "Install now"

[MarkF]

** Description changed:

  ISO testing 20.04 Kubuntu daily image (20200323). Something involving
  Kwallet & wifi is installed differently depending on whether I take the
  path "Try it" (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. I
- have to manually connect, at which point Kwallet makes me set up a
- password (with no indication that a null password is acceptable).
+ 1. When I install from the Live Desktop, upon first reboot wifi doesn't
+ connect automatically. I have to manually connect, at which point
+ Kwallet inserts itself & makes me set up a password (with no indication
+ that a null password is acceptable). I end up having to give the Kwallet
+ password every time I boot (before wifi will connect).
  
- 2. When I install from "Install now," and reboot, wifi automatically
+ 2. When I choose "Install now," upon first reboot wifi automatically
  connects (as all the other Ubuntu desktop flavors do). I don't have to
- mess around with Kwallet.
+ mess around with Kwallet ever.
  
- The #1 behavior has bothered me for awhile. It hasn't felt normal to me,
- and would be confusing to a new user. It took a month for me to learn
- that I could enter a null password and never be bothered by Kwallet
- again. I've been debating opening a bug about that.

- a 2nd password each time they boot in order to get wifi to work. As I
