Ubuntu install still failing on farmers in 1.2.90

[Qwinn1]

The same "MAC check failed" error that is described in Issue #16 is still happening trying to run apple 1.2.90 on a farmer in Ubuntu. Installs fine on harvesters, but I still have to run 1.2.30 for my farmer.

Actually, wow, even 1.2.30 is failing now.

Same problem in Debian - "MAC check failed". 1.2.30 works ok.

Okay, I figured out what that was. Because the apple init is failing, the target addresses it set in the config.yaml were null. When I fixed that, I was able to start with 1.2.30.

I discovered a way to get 1.2.90 working.

1. Install 1.2.30.
2. Delete plot key (and any others you may have) with apple keys delete
3. Update to 1.2.90
4. Add plot key back in.

Explains why harvester updates work fine. No keys on those.

I'm having the same issue installing 1.2.90 on ubuntu 20.04. Going to try to install 1.2.30 first.
