Bug Description

Fresh netboot install

I have lost too much time fighting against stupid issues after the first installation reboot:
- third party apps not listed into the menu
- graphic issue
- appimage not installable (miss gconf-service)
- ...

and finally have glanced at missing 'important' packages, like 'dkms, tweaks, dconf, gconf-service' ...

not everyone knows about such url: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/10/things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-17-10

at least, if you do not add those to the 'recommended' list, then add them to the missing 'suggest' one.

Make our Ubuntu great again.

Why do you need dkms installed?

gconf has been deprecated for years and is intentionally not installed by default (and would be a separate issue any way).

Please give a detailed test case for why dkms needs to be pre-installed.
