Bug Description

When installing a MAAS environment from the 12.04 Server DVD, the installer announces: "You can access the MAAS user interface by going to the given URL: http://10..../MAAS" before the webpage is live. The server still has to reboot to complete the install.

I recommend changing the wording to suggest that 'when installation is complete, you will be able to..." because that link is not available at the time the message is displayed. Perhaps this seems really obvious, but I think it's worth being accurate.

It is not necessarily easy to determine if the maas installer code is running in the installer, versus on a live system.
Ie, if you've done: 'apt-get install maas', then the message is correct.
I understand your concern, though, and thank you for taking the time to make Ubuntu better.

Changed in maas (Ubuntu):

Hi Scott. Thanks for understanding my concern for conveying accuracy in messages displayed to users. It stems from decades of being annoyed by inaccurate messages from Microsoft.

I can appreciate that it'd be a task to write code to determine the state of the environment. That's why I was just suggesting a mild changing in phraseology rather than introducing more code. A simple change from: "You can access the MAAS user interface ..." to "Your MAAS user interface will be available at..." is all I am suggesting.
