maas/maas-001:
==========
The installation went fine except by bug 1172583 which doesn't really affect maas behavior, also after the first login, the following message appears at the top:

"Some cluster controllers are missing boot images. Either the import task has not been initiated (for each cluster, the task must be initiated by hand the first time), or the import task failed."

If that's shown always on first login, maybe the testcase should be update it, to reflect this, although in my opinion that's also a maas bug, because it should start it by default.

No login screen is shown, /MAAS/settings redirects to /MAAS, not sure if the default behavior of showing a login screen has changed, if that's the case, the testcase should be updated, otherwise, it may be a bug in MAAS, I've posted question #227423

maas/maas-008:
==========
It has a missing step, so I added it and requested a merge, https://code.launchpad.net/~chilicuil/ubuntu-manual-tests/missing-step-m...

1172566

Tests passed from maas-001 through maas-008. Can't complete maas-009 tonight due to bandwidth and time. Started maas-010, however, can not complete step 17 due to maas-009 not finished. Node did appear and is ready to be commissioned.

Bug 1172566 - failed to install on AMD PC without networking, failed at dpkg, similar to issues balloons had on his VM. Finished testing on VirtualBox on Mac.

NOTE: if testing image could be created so that testers don't have to install 4gb of images that would be better. (just for testing, thanks guys)
