Bug Description

On a Xenial host I need to use --upload-tools :

$ juju bootstrap --upload-tools controller-lxd1 lxd

to create a controller for LXD because it chooses Trusty as 'default-series'.

$ dpkg-query -W juju2
juju2 2.0-beta2-0ubuntu1~16.04.1~juju1

$ lsb_release -c
Codename: xenial

WORK AROUND
juju bootstrap -controller-lxd1 lxd --config default-series=xenial

Also, using

--config default-series=xenial

doesn't work either:

" ERROR failed to bootstrap model: cannot start bootstrap instance: Error adding alias ubuntu-xenial: not found "

Looks like we may have posted at the same time. I observe that '--config default-series=xenial' does not work.

@Peter,

The error in comment one is because there's been no lxd image downloaded. As per the current release notes, this needs to be done manually using the lxd image import tool.

The next juju beta should be enhanced to automatically fetch the required lxd image if it is not currently in the lxd image cache.

@Ian

Thank you. I thought the import step was no longer required.

I got beyond my original error and now I get a hang. I've opened a new bug for this:

The default series, if one is not specified, is the most recent LTS as reported by `distro-info --lts`

Once Xenial is released, that command should return Xenial, and so the new default will be updated. We should update the fallback (which is used in cases where the distro-info command would fail, like from a osx or windows client) once Xenial is released.
