Hi John,

Thanks you for your reply.

We are not able to reproduce this error again. If we get this error,
we will post details for this.

While doing "snap install", it gives error. But doing "snap login" again,
from the command prompt (shell), we are able to install the application
via "snap install". But this method also is not 100% successful. Sometimes
we get error.

Here is the dmesg logs for the error case: http://pastebin.com/rAa8Zvfb
The above log has two trial logs. In the First trial, we have prepared the
SDCard and have setup the first boot console config. In the Second trial,
we did "snap login".

We obsereved that whenever we do a "snap install", irrespective of it
being successful or fail, we get the below message repeatedly and the
board reboots automatically after 15-20 minutes:

    "Broadcast message from root at localhost.localdomain (Thu 2017-03-16 12:31:13 UTC):

    reboot scheduled to update the system - temporarily cancel with 'sudo shutdown -c'
    The system is going down for reboot at Thu 2017-03-16 12:39:13 UTC!"

This is how it looks like when board is automatically reboot:

After the reboot is done (which takes around 5 minutes), thie above reboot
message does not come.

It would be great, if you can provide any comments.

Yes snapd on a core system does not list any snaps: http://pastebin.com/rAa8Zvfb

> How are you building the image that you are booting?

Here are the steps to building Ubuntu-Core Image: http://pastebin.com/0x52ATXi

> What's in /var/lib/snapd/state.json? (don't just pastebin that file if you have

> And in seed.yaml? What's in /var/lib/snapd/snaps? What's in
> /etc/os-release?

Here we listed various snaps directory as you asked:

The state.json file is at: http://pastebin.com/0KyvECtz

It would be more helpful to us if you provide some pointers.

Thank you.
Sunny
