Title:
  Ubiquity offers network-required options where no network is available

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity source package in Eoan:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Did an install of Ubuntu 18.04.2 and forgot to plug the network cable in.
  I noticed the dialog where I get to choose 3rd party updates didn't alert me to the lack of network.

  Actual behaviour

  * Download updates checkbox was ticked *and* greyed out
  * Download 3rd party software was not ticked, but was tickable

  Expected behaviour

  (where no network is available)

  * Download updates checkbox should be greyed out, and *not* ticked
  * Download 3rd party software should be greyed out, and *not* be ticked

  In addition, perhaps a warning might be prudent to indicate that a
  network connection would be good here. Perhaps:-

  /!\ - Note: A network connection is required to download updates and
  3rd party packages. If required, go back to the previous screen to
  enable internet access.
