terminal output is

Expected to be fixed in a next update ?

try this, it should work then enable snap boot and make a snap then try to install your drivers.

Just some preliminary information:

  • was this an official ISO (from where)?
  • have you already verified the checksum?
  • what tool did you use for burning?
