[Bug 1745347] Re: landscape-common shows erroneous MOTD on install
This is the existing behavior of update-motd from the update-motd package, unchanged since 2009, which does the following: if run-parts --lsbsysinit /etc/update-motd.d > /var/run/motd.new; then if mv -f /var/run/motd.new /var/run/motd; then cat /var/run/motd exit 0 else echo "ERROR: could not install new MOTD" 1>&2 exit 1 fi fi So the update-motd command installs the new motd, and then cats it to stdout. landscape-common should not need to call update-motd as part of the maintainer script, as the rest of the system is intended to ensure the dynamic motd shown at login is always current. ** Changed in: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1745347 Title: landscape-common shows erroneous MOTD on install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/landscape-client/+bug/1745347/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Can you try a reinstall of some of the other packages that have files in that directory? For example, on my system: $ dpkg -S /etc/update-motd.d/* base-files: /etc/update-motd.d/00-header base-files: /etc/update-motd.d/10-help-text base-files: /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news update-notifier-common: /etc/update-motd.d/90-updates-available ubuntu-release-upgrader-core: /etc/update-motd.d/91-release-upgrade update-notifier-common: /etc/update-motd.d/95-hwe-eol update-notifier-common: /etc/update-motd.d/98-fsck-at-reboot update-notifier-common: /etc/update-motd.d/98-reboot-required If you install ubuntu-advantage-tools, I think you will get an ESM motd as well. It won't display anything on ubuntu (as it's precise only), but should place another file in that directory and may trigger this behavior too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1745347 Title: landscape-common shows erroneous MOTD on install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/landscape-client/+bug/1745347/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1745347] Re: landscape-common shows erroneous MOTD on install
I actually did apt-get install landscape-common --reinstall to confirm it was something triggered as part of that package install. So while it might be something else landscape-common calls, it's definitely landscape-common triggering it, not some other thing during my upgrade. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1745347 Title: landscape-common shows erroneous MOTD on install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/landscape-client/+bug/1745347/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1745347] Re: landscape-common shows erroneous MOTD on install
Hello, I don't think what you saw came from landscape. The bit that landscape- sysinfo spits out to the motd is this: System information disabled due to load higher than 2.0 I don't know why you got the whole motd during the package install as if you had logged in, but the landscape bit is just that line above. The rest comes from many different scripts in /etc/update-motd.d Why all that got displayed mid-apt upgrade does sound wrong. Maybe the bug got triggered by landscape because it does install a script in /etc /update-motd.d. I'm adding a bug task for update-notifier. ** Also affects: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: landscape-client (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1745347 Title: landscape-common shows erroneous MOTD on install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/landscape-client/+bug/1745347/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
