[Impact]

 * Ubuntu MATE Welcome has a post installation assistant that guide the
user through updating software and installing drivers. The "Install
Firmware" feature currently includes `linux-firmware-nonfree` in its
package list. linux-firmware-non-free was recently removed from the
Xenial archive (LP: #1513589) therefore this feature now fails.

 * This updated version of Ubuntu MATE Welcome makes one small change,
it removes linux-firmware-nonfree from the install options such that the
"Install Firmware" feature works.

[Test Case]

 * Install Ubuntu MATE 16.04. When Welcome is displayed after login
click Getting Started -> Drivers -> Install Firmware Package. Enter your
password when prompted, should after you'll be notified that the
firmware install failed.

 * Once Ubuntu MATE Welcome 16.04.10 is installed the above steps will
complete successfully.

[Regression Potential]

 * None.
