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

[MarkF]

** Description changed:

  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."
+ path "Try it" (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).
