Public bug reported: == Comment: #0 - Thorsten Winkler - 2016-03-16 06:59:10 == Logging in into Ubuntu shows the MOTD (message of the day) which again shows how many packages still could be updated. --------- For example: Welcome to Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-11-generic s390x)
* Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ 7 packages can be updated. 0 updates are security updates. --------- After "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade", then rebooting the system, this message still appears although now no package is available to update. That is sometimes confusing a little bit. Here the config of /etc/pam.d/login: session optional pam_motd.so motd=/run/motd.dynamic session optional pam_motd.so noupdate I tried to comment the second line but nothing happened. And I also tried to delete "/run/motd.dynamic", hoping that this file will be created again with updated information. But it does not. == Comment: #1 - Thorsten Diehl - 2016-03-16 09:19:57 == After apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade or aptitude the status of the number of updateable packages should be recalculated. == Comment: #3 - Maxim Shchetynin - 2016-03-16 13:11:56 == These messages are generated by some Python script belonging to the package update-notifier-common. To get rid of these annoying messages just remove the package update-notifier-common, though it is designed to be used on desktop systems and is therefore not necessary on server systems like System z. ** Affects: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Skipper Bug Screeners (skipper-screen-team) Status: New ** Tags: architecture-s39064 bugnameltc-139140 severity-low targetmilestone-inin--- ** Tags added: architecture-s39064 bugnameltc-139140 severity-low targetmilestone-inin--- ** Changed in: ubuntu Assignee: (unassigned) => Skipper Bug Screeners (skipper-screen-team) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1558270 Title: [Ubuntu 16.04] No automatic/regular update of motd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/1558270/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
