I don't have a monitor just at the hand, but I want to use my Raspberry Pi with Ubuntu Mate... How do I activate the SSH on it? When trying to ssh to it, it says 'Connection refused'

1IIRC it already is enabled the change only affected Raspbian. Have you tried connecting to it? – Steve Robillard May 15 '17 at 18:01

You can try adding an ssh file (no extension) to the boot directory and rebooting, but I suspect that it is either not installed or not started. – Steve Robillard May 15 '17 at 18:04

@SteveRobillard Yeah, I have tried that as well... – Taumen May 15 '17 at 18:06

1If you must do this headless you may be better off using Raspbian. – Steve Robillard May 15 '17 at 18:37
Unluckily you have to do first configuration with the hdmi and enable the ssh service. This because a recent patch that disabled ssh on first boot. Regards, sorry for my bad english
After you attach a monitor to your Pi3, open up a terminal and enter in
sudo systemctl enable sshd
sudo systemctl start sshd
I recommend installing ufw on any Pi device
sudo apt install ufw
Now to allow ssh connections:
sudo ufw allow ssh
