Does that mean I have to connect my RaspberryPi to a screen with HDMI
before I can start using it ? With previous image I was able to directly
ssh into the device, now it seems not to be possible. Is there a way around
that, perhaps a config file to which I can write my email address before
booting the Pi?

My general workflow is: I flash the ubuntu-core on my sdcard and boot the
Pi without any internet (this creates some initial directories like
/etc/network). Then I add a network interface for my wifi dongle by
mounting the sdcard on my laptop and again boot the Pi. This used to get me
access to the Pi. With latest image my device does get online with my home
router(dhcp successful) but I cannot ssh as I presume there is no default
user.
