Loïc, I think we’re talking at cross purposes here - it’s the KVM image that we are referring to here.

The freshly compressed downloaded today Pi2 image lets me install my test snap AND it fires up the service - good stuff.

HOWEVER, perhaps a good idea to highlight that snappy-remote requires you to enter your password 3/4 times at present.

Thanks for creating the build,

Nick
