Hello,

I'm new to Ubuntu Touch development and setting up the SDK, and I feel a 
bit dumb unable to get the emulator to launch successfully. It starts 
with the new window, and after few minutes hangs consuming 100% of a CPU 
core, with these last few lines in the log:

[   54.540000] systemd-logind[942]: New seat seat0.

I've tried both
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Emulator
and now
https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/blog/2016/06/14/calling-testers-new-ubuntu-sdk-ide-post/
with the same result.

Searching for answers I found:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/725085/running-ubuntu-touch-emulator-failing 
(unanswered)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-rtm/+source/lxc-android-config/+bug/1458043 
(saying it's fixed in overlay)

Is it known/expected that following the instructions in emulator wiki 
will land me in this state? Should I be using the overlay? Or am I 
missing something else?

Thank you!
