Known Problems
Wireless is not available immediately after completing the Ubuntu System Configuration steps. Happens on every laptop once. Workaround is to reboot. Tracked by Ubuntu as #1573474.

The first graphics drawn by Sugar after a reboot may be incomplete. Happens one every five times. Workaround is to open and close the frame (F6). Does not occur on Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety, but does occur on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial with Gtk+ 3.20.6. Should be fixed in the next release of Ubuntu.
