we don't do dynamic resizing on VM images, only on real hardware, the
kvm/amd64 image is by default set to 4GB so you can work with it
directly and do not need to resize it yourself in a complex process,
this is on purpose.

snapweb listens on 4200 which we redirect in the above command to the
hosts 14200 port (so we do not clash with a possibly running snapweb
snap on the hot machine). thus http://localhost:14200 is the correct
address for the above.

the password is disabled by default, console-conf only pulls the ssh
key from your Ubuntu One account and puts it in place. to have a
console login you need to ssh into the machine once and run:

sudo passwd $USER

to set a password.
