Title:
  KDE- Ubiquity crashed when selecting WiFi network

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubiquity source package in Hirsute:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Installing ISO daily 20210119 Kubuntu Hirsute on Lenovo V14 IIL
  running in UEFI + secure boot mode.

  Ubiquity crashed when selecting WiFi network during the install. The
  error message Installer crashed appeared when I attempted to select
  the WiFi network.

  Booted up the image and clicked on the "Install Kubuntu" button.

  The installer started as normal - I then selected the correct keyboard
  layout and progressed onto the Wireless screen- selected connect to
  this network - and selected my wireless and the installer crashed with
  the failure message.

  I will upload screenshot via another computer after filing this bug.

  WORKAROUND:

  - At boot select the option to 'Try' Kubuntu and progress to the full live desktop session.
  - Use the network management system tray applet to connect to wifi.
  - Start the installer via the desktop icon or main menu entry.

  Crash details:
