[Bug 1868646] [NEW] "Try it" installs kwallet differently than "Install now"

[MarkF]

Public bug reported:

ISO testing 20.04 Kubuntu daily image (20200323). Something involving
Kwallet & wifi is installed differently depending on whether I take the
path "try it" (and install from Live desktop), or "install now."

1. When I install from the Live Desktop (after clicking "try it," and
then reboot the installed system, wifi doesn't automatically connect (as
other Ubuntu desktop flavors do after wifi was used during the install).
I have to manually connect, at which point Kwallet makes me set up a
password (with no indication a null password is acceptable).

2. When I install from "Install now," and reboot, wifi automatically
connects. I don't have to mess around with Kwallet. Apparently
everything is working with a null Kwallet password.

The #1 behavior has bothered me for awhile. It hasn't felt normal to me.
It took a month to learn that I could enter a null password and never be
bothered by it again. I've been debating opening a bug about it (because
it doesn't seem inviting to new users who have no idea why it works this
way, or null is a valid password).

I just tried "Install now" and it worked different. I think that's a
valid bug. They should work the same, I'm sure. IMO, #2 is the proper
behavior. If it worked that way, I would have much less concern with
Kwallet creating an unpleasantness for new users. With #2, everything
works the way a new user would expect it to work. (So, if/when those two
paths to install work the same: I hope #2 is the way they both work.).
