Please help?

Hi,

I have been following the tutorial here (https://docs.snapcraft.io/build-snaps/get-started-snapcraft1)

to get started with snapcraft as I want to snap my python app. I’m using: ubuntu 16.04.3(LTS) as the base in a vm (VMWare player)

while trying to snapcraft cleanbuild (after following all the steps as specified in the tutorial) I encounter the following error:

Looking up assertion ['account-key', 'public-key-sha3-384=BWDEoaqyr25nF5SNCvEv2v7QnM9QsfCc0PBMYD_i2NGSQ32EF2d4D0hqUel3m8ul']

Please, help?

I run a mining rig, sometimes after an unsuccessful overclocking it crashes and machine reboots. However, I have a cron script that restarts miner. That makes the machine go into a loop which is somewhat hard to terminate.

In my shell script I would like to check some variable that has crashed reboot flag set. If it is set, I would like to add a startup delay in my cron script.

I've googled, but could not find any "failed previous boot flag". However, grub can do it: it uses a bigger countdown in boot menu after a crash.

Where would I check for a failed reboot? I know all about the syslog, but obviously, grub does not use that.

I got the ubuntu sdk running on 15.04 and 15.10 but I can't get the html 5 inspector running. Works fine on 14.04 any way to get it working on later versions ?

ubuntu-html5-app-launcher --www=www --inspector

Any useful advice?
