So this might be a stupid question but what is the default username / password for the prebuilt images for ubuntu provided here?

I have tried the ubuntu / temppwd an no luck. Again sorry for the noob question. I have it all up and running however I cannot login

Strange with that image, those are the correct credentials...
user: ubuntu
pass: temppwd
For lucid, the NetInstall method will ask you to create a new users.
And once the bug in rootstock/qemu is found, the X11 images for lucid
will also ask you to create a new user...
Regards,
hrm… well that is weird… I will try it again tonight. At least I know they are right.
