By design, the cache file, /var/cache/motd-news, should be populated in the background by a systemd timer that runs roughly once a day. If that file is populated, then there should be zero impact on login. Perhaps the background cache population should create an empty file, if it can't reach the $URL? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to base-files in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1691901 Title: 50-motd-news costs 5 seconds every login on firewalled systems Status in base-files package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I noticed quite a long time to login to some of my systems via ssh (or scp).

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1691901] Re: 50-motd-news costs 5 seconds every login on firewalled systems
Steve, It should not be a requirement to have connectivity to motd.ubuntu.com to have quick login. Its quite common to have ingress networking like we see in our labs. I suggest the fix would be better to background the download and to atomically move it the content into place. Then the reader would just display it if it were present. Then, a.) pure failure to reach (ECONNREFUSED or EHOSTUNREACH) would simply show no data in motd. b.) hang would be gone and would simply not have data in the motd c.) fast success would be shown on this login d.) slower success would be shown on next login (possibly stale, which is always going to be a possibility) ** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to base-files in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1691901 Title: 50-motd-news costs 5 seconds every login on firewalled systems Status in base-files package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I noticed quite a long time to login to some of my systems via ssh (or scp).

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1691901] Re: 50-motd-news costs 5 seconds every login on firewalled systems
I've adjusted the bug description to match my understanding of the actual problem. AIUI this does not happen on a disconnected system; if motd.ubuntu.com cannot resolve or returns ECONNREFUSED or EHOSTUNREACH, there should be no 5-second delay. The error only happens on a system which has routes, but has a firewall that drops packets instead of responding to the request. (Or when motd.u.c is actually down.) So, what you appear to be describing here is a deliberate design tradeoff. Unless you are recommending a different timeout (if so, what value?) or asking for this to be disabled altogether (in which case I will refer you to Dustin), I think the only solution here is for your lab to have suitable firewall+proxy settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to base-files in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1691901 Title: 50-motd-news costs 5 seconds every login on firewalled systems Status in base-files package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I noticed quite a long time to login to some of my systems via ssh (or scp).

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1691901] Re: 50-motd-news costs 5 seconds every login on firewalled systems
** Summary changed: - 50-motd-news costs 5 seconds every login on disconnected systems + 50-motd-news costs 5 seconds every login on firewalled systems -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to base-files in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1691901 Title: 50-motd-news costs 5 seconds every login on firewalled systems Status in base-files package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I noticed quite a long time to login to some of my systems via ssh (or scp). Investigating lead me to find out that the '50-motd-news' file (/etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news) was the primary cost. In line 108 [1] it does something like: curl --connect-timeout "5" --max-time "5" -A "..." -o - https://motd.ubuntu.com The systems I'm seeing this on are in a lab and do not have access to https://motd.ubuntu.com. The way the lab is configured, they just end up timing out. So every scp or ssh connection or other path to trigger update-motd will cost 5 seconds. -- [1] https://git.launchpad.net/~usd-import-team/ubuntu/+source/base-files/tree/update-motd.d/50-motd-news?h=applied/ubuntu/zesty#n108 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.04 Package: base-files 9.6ubuntu13 ProcVersionSignature: User Name 4.10.0-21.23-generic 4.10.11 Uname: Linux 4.10.0-21-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.4-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri May 19 01:11:30 2017 Ec2AMI: ami-004f Ec2AMIManifest: FIXME Ec2AvailabilityZone: nova Ec2InstanceType: m1.small Ec2Kernel: unavailable Ec2Ramdisk: unavailable ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR= LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: base-files UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) mtime.conffile..etc.update-motd.d.50-motd-news: 2017-05-19T01:10:25.572110 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/1691901/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
