Public bug reported:
# Details
* Fresh install of Ubuntu Budgie 17.04 (Beta 1)
* Macbook Air (mid 2013)
* Does not crash, and I have a work around
* Installed in UEFI
* single boot without any additional UEFI loaders, etc.
* wifi driver provided by "bcmwl-kernel-source"
# Steps to Produce
* Boot off of a USB with the ISO image by pressing and holding "option" at boot.
* Start the installer and proceed until you get to the screen where you select
the options to "Download updates while installing ubuntu" and "Install
third-party software for graphics and WiFi hardware..."
* Select the option for hardware only (as I do not yet have an internet
connection). Proceed.
* Drivers install. Then I press "back".
* I can then select "Download updates while installing ubuntu" and proceed
again with that option.
# Issue
I think this is actually more so just an "order of operations" issue.
Might it make more sense for the installer to move the "Download updates
while installing ubuntu" option into it's on step in the wizard after
the wifi drivers might be potentially installed? Then the internet
connection is available to allow the downloads to both be selected and
processed with an internet connection (since it is a dependency)?
I cannot attach the log files as this is primary computer and had to get
it running - so I came back to this bug. If needed, I am willing to blow
away my system and reload to assist.
Thank you.
Dustin
