Bug Description

Kubuntu OEM install crashes after attempting to pass the Wireless menu during install. Crash occurs regardless if user chooses to connect to wifi. Text from the Installer crashed window:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde_ui.py", line 514, in <lambda>
    0, lambda: self.dbfilter.start(auto_process=True))
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/filteredcommand.py", line 103, in start
    prep = self.prepare()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-prepare.py", line 419, in prepare
    if self.frontend.ubuntu_drivers:
AttributeError: 'Wizard' object has no attribute 'ubuntu_drivers'

Checking apt list in the terminal shows:
   ubuntu-drivers-common/focal,now 1:0.8 amd64 [installed,automatic]

So I suspect a script init issue.

After the crash, the live desktop appears. Attempting OEM install using the desktop icon also crashes on the Wifi menu.

grepping all files in the ubiquity package for frontend.ubuntu_drivers shows the only reference is in ubi-prepare.py. I suspect code was removed from one of import files, but I do not know how to use LP well enough to discover the offending commit.

    prepare: Detect whether there are OEM enablement package for the system

    Record this so that it can be used later on when actually installing.

    Installation can be disabled by preseeding ubiquity/install_oem.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 20.04.9

---------------
ubiquity (20.04.9) focal; urgency=medium

  * kde: Set ubuntu_drivers to None. We don't actually run this here (but
    could if somebody wanted to make that happen), but the plugins need the
    variable to be defined. (LP: #1869992)
