Thank you both for taking a look and raising bugs :-)

We've spent our time after returning from the U.S. Thanksgiving Break
hammering bits and pieces into shape. I just pushed a release to the
candidate channel that should fix some of the hiccups on install and
restart. (Instances you've spun up will still be stopped after a system
reboot, but you should be able to start them up manually and continue using
them without any issues.) You can install it with:

sudo snap install microstack --classic --candidate

And if you've already got microstack installed, you can do:

sudo snap refresh microstack

@Chris Morgan: I left a comment on the bug relating to theme switching that
you raised (https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/microstack/issues/39). It looks
like something is broken in the pathing for the scss around the roboto font
face, but I'm not sure whether it's an issue with the way that the snap
lays out the files (a missing symlink, maybe?), or if it's a more general
issue when installing from a Rocky release tarball. We're troubleshooting,
but if you'd weigh in with an opinion, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks again!
