Title:
  ubuntu mate resolute installer (ubuntu-desktop-installer) claims no
  internet

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This bug was filed against installer, but apport has filed against
  ubiquity (hard coded?)

  At jumping to terminal, I can ping 8.8.8.8 so internet is connected.
  If I ping using DNS (eg. ping my ISP; iinet.net.au) I get name resolution errors.

  So as to get file this bug report, I `sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf` and
  added `nameserver 8.8.8.8` to the top of that file, so internet/DNS
  was usable.

  The applet on the top window of MATE screen still indicates that
  networking is 'disabled', and whilst it gives me an option to 'enable
  networking' it does nothing.

  The installer will be having an issue due to something else I bet
  (networking related) sorry.
