Hi Steven,
I watched the
asciicast and what you did is pretty well what I did.
But if you did what I did then you would not have an xvda1 that is
an extended partition with an xvda5 inside it, so you must have done
something different to me. Probably at the "Partition disks" stage,
01:38 in to the above asciicast? I mentioned this above. I am happy to do another
install deleting the
partitions and doing exactly what you did.
I think you should try that, but it would be nice to know which
option you chose so that I can do that myself and see if I can make
it still work for people anyway.
You realise that your rescue VM is still running, right? So that is
what is sitting on your IP address, and the only user account on it
is called "user" and has a randomly-generated password. So that
would explain why it pings and does not let you log in.
Whoops, yes, now I understand.
Steve
