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.
