Unfortunately nexus 4 does not support usb host to connect mouse/keyboard:

So I will have to find a way to prepare ubuntu image before I flash it to
have no activation screen and ready to accept adb connections.

As to flashing ubuntu core, I was not able to find anything useful, except
some images here:

And some info here:
