I have several existing EC2 images that work fine. I'm trying to start a new EC2 instance, using the alestic 11.04 image. If I login as root, I see

Ok, fine. But if I try to login as ubuntu, I get

Since I can login in as root, far enough to get the message to that I should log in as ubuntu, I don't have connection problems, and I don't have key problems. What should I do?
