@DonGateley The images are preconfigured with SSH running but Ubuntu MATE differs from Raspbian in that there is a first boot configuration to setup you user account etc. That is a graphical only tool.
Perhaps you’d prefer one of the server images that come with a preconfigured user account?
Thanks, I’ll give that a try. It still should be possible to boot up headless using PuTTy and ssh with the normal distribution. Please don’t dismiss the idea out of hand.
On perusal it seems the server images are very restricted functionally. My request remains for the main distribution to support a headless startup in any of the many ways that could be accomplished.
After turning off the X11 and restart,
sudo graphical disable sudo reboot
I can not establish an SSH connection over WiFi - wlan0 does not up before login prompt, only after logon (by typing on usb keyboard).
