I am experiencing this issue with dailies images for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE and Ubuntu Budgie when installing on a laptop with integrated discrete nvidia graphics.
After selecting "Install third-party software for graphics and WiFi hardware" there is a long delay after clicking Continue before the install process continues.

Would it be possible to get the installer logs (syslog, journal, ubiquity logging etc.) for when such a situation is happening? Is it only reproducible with selected hardware?
| Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel) wrote : | #7 |
This is because ubuntu-drivers refreshes it's cache to check for drivers to install and install drivers on the system is there are any available.
The UI should indeed provide some feedback when it's doing this.

After install. Alt-F2 and ran ubuntu-bug. That brought up the Apport
screen with the options to select different problems to report. Checked
Other problem and Got "You need to specify a package or a PID. See
--help for more information."
So I went to Launchpad and created a bug report. I have replicated this
just now and created a bug #1825028
Last evening Launchpad.net would just go to an error message when trying
to create this bug with the exact same information I just put in for the
bug listed above.

However, we also discussed that we might not need to install those things in the live system.
But we do need to download them =( to install into target.
Also are these being downloaded over the network because they are not shipped in the .iso pool on that flavour; unlike the ubuntu-desktop flavour pool?

---------------
ubiquity (21.04.4) hirsute; urgency=medium
[ Jean-Baptiste Lallement ]
* Moved from deprecated sip4 to sip from PyQt5 (LP: #1903378) Thanks Rik
Mills for the references.
* Replaced deprecated module imp by importlib (LP: #1898494)
[ Shih-Yuan Lee (FourDollars) ]
* set() has a random order when looping it that makes the failure of
dependencies issue random. Sort the list of package to make it predictable
and easier to diagnose dependency issues.
[ Łukasz 'sil2100' Zemczak ]
* Provide some minimal user feedback on the UI when ubuntu-drivers is busy
while running in the background. (LP: #1824905)
[ Gunnar Hjalmarsson ]
* d-i/patches/
- Set nl (Dutch) as the default Belgian language (LP: #1907914)
