Bug Description
Installed 18.04.2 on a laptop with nvidia GTX 960.
I enabled wireless network and ticked the box to install 3rd party proprietary stuff.
Rebooted to the installed system and found no nvidia driver installed.
Found this in the installer/syslog (full syslog attached)

This is probably a packaging problem on the nvidia drivers rather than a bug in Ubiquiuty. Moving there for more ideas.
