KALI instance from the Market place
I just created a KALI instance from the Market place and I cant SSH to it, I open the LISH option and it tells me that the network service has failed. I try to restart it and I get this Failed to restart network.service: Unit network.service not found. If I do a reboot, I see this message
[FAILED] Failed to start Raise network interfaces.
See 'systemctl status networking.service' for details.

any help is appreciated, or could this be a one time glitch, I dont have anything on the box right now, as I just spun it up. so to kill it and start over is not a big deal.

I just spun up a Kali instance from the Marketplace and it deployed without an issue. It's important to note that it takes about 45-60 minutes for the application to fully install so it's possible if you attempted to connect to it before then, something may have broken.
My suggestion is to delete the instance and spin up another one. You'll likely spend more time troubleshooting this issue than it's worth.
I will try that, I just deleted the instances Nov 14, I will spin up another and not touch it till tomorrow Nov15. I hope its just me being impatient.

OK, this is not going well,
channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
after I followed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oox2hF4SZLU
if I reboot the instance I get the message back that
[FAILED] Failed to start a wrapper to launch an X server for VNC.
I have let it sit for well over a few hours before i try to get on to it, I can get into it via the LISH and I was able to SSH to it from my system with the VNC user and Root.
