Hi, a quick followup with some suggestions how to improve the user experience when working with the amd64 and pi2 images.

Some more details about running the images inside qemu-kvm. When running the images in qemu-kvm it is helpful to use the "-redir" feature of qemu-kvm. E.g.: $ kvm -m 1500 -redir tcp:10022::22 ubuntu-core-16-amd64.img The message from console-conf is a bit misleading in this setup. It will say "ssh USER@10.0.2.15". However due to the way that qemu-kvm user networking works, you will actually have to run: $ ssh -p 10022 USER@localhost to ssh into the images. We should probably include it in the instructions for images on snapcraft.io. > The pi2 image can be written to a sdcard via: > > unxz ubuntu-core-16-pc.img.xz > dd if= ubuntu-core-16-pc.img of=/dev/sdXX > > Where /dev/sdXX is the path of your sd card. [..] An alternative way to write the image is to use "go-dd": $ sudo snap install --devmode --beta godd $ sudo /snap/bin/godd ubuntu-core-16-pi2.img [this will print a message what devices are removable] $ sudo /snap/bin/godd ubuntu-core-16-pi2.img /dev/sdXX The advantage of godd is that it will not write to devices that are still mounted and that it can help detecting what removable devices are available (and it shows a progressbar).
