<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Mike<br>
<br>
You are seeing the bootstrapping of a brand new all-snap OS, sorry
for the rough patches but we have just added this first-boot
experience. The rest is shaping up very nicely, that part is just
brand new. We expect a usable image on Friday this week, and a
release candidate later in the month.<br>
<br>
This new Ubuntu Core 16 image is shaping up to be something we can
be very proud of:<br>
<br>
* everything is a snap and those snaps are super-fast and
super-transactional<br>
* the bootstrap process is very factory-friendly for people
making physical appliances<br>
* there is a very strong security foundation that raises the bar
for all appliances and IoT<br>
<br>
This first-user experience addresses some long-standing issues
that have bugged me about Ubuntu across cloud and devices for
nearly a decade!<br>
<br>
* the 'ubuntu' default user is removed so appliance vendors have
much more brand control<br>
* we eliminate default users from the bootstrap process<br>
* we work the same way from cloud to edge appliance<br>
<br>
Apologies again for the rough spots in the first code drop, but I
bet you love the end result.<br>
<br>

I'l usually see the first error on the first try and the
second error on<br>
subsequent tries until I power-cycle the target switch.
In either case, I can never get past this setup, so as I
said above, my<br>
target switch is now a brick.
Can someone tell me how to get past this screen so that the
boot completes<br>
and I can get back to work?<br>

went to my Ubuntu One account and imported my Public SSH

I'm concerned that network equipment has to be registered
to a particular user that has to have an Ubuntu One
account with an imported public key. In my particular
case, these switches are used by many developers. I don't
want all the developers forced to create Ubuntu One
accounts and I don't want to give all the developers my
Ubuntu One credentials.</div>

When the unit finally booted, I was unable to perform a
'sudo snap install hello-world'. I encountered what
looked like network errors. I rebooted the switch and
then was able to 'snap install'. It doesn't look like the
first boot left the network configuration in a good state
as the boot finished up.</div>
