Marking as "Fix released" since this has been cleanly resolved in more recent LXD releases.
We can't backport this particular feature to the LTS branch due to how complex it is and the very high risk of causing regressions (users upgrading to 2.4 didn't exactly have a smooth ride). If you want the latest LXD feature release on 16.04, it can be installed from xenial-backports. As for trying to improve the old debconf-based experience, I'm very worried that any "fix" we do will be a regression for some other users. Since it's based on debconf, we have downstream users that are pre-seeding this and depend on the current behavior. The main issue with debconf, outside of having to be driven by a rather limited interface is that it gets very difficult to know if a value in the debconf database is the default, was read from a pre-existing config file, was pre-seeded or user provided. So overriding values for things like the DHCP range or number of DHCP host will almost certainly cause some breakage somewhere... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1651426 Title: sudo lxd init user experience is poor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxd/+bug/1651426/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
