The md5sum that's been included doesn't seem to match the one on my
hardy system. I see the following:

As a result, the package fails to upgrade the motd when I install it,
because it assumes the motd has bee

The most recently provided patch also doesn't handle updating /etc/motd
with the new default on upgrade from previous releases, which is done by
updating share/motd.md5sums. Nicolas, can you provide a patch that
handles the upgrade as well?

I agree that nxvl proposal is the simplest to implement. The doc team
has agreed to modify help.ubuntu.com landing page to include a direct
pointer to the server guide (which is currently a bit hidden). As I

On the basis of the other comments in
If you do insist on having a different motd, though (which I think is
unwise; it's not uncommon to run small-scale servers by installing a
desktop and then sticking a few server packages on top, and people
logging into those servers might want help too), then remember that
resolving conflicts among
nxvl's suggestion seems pretty reasonable to me; point to a top-level
documentation page and let the user sort it out. They probably know
better than we do what they need help on!

Mathiaz and soren looked at this and it is not as trivial a problem as it would
have first seemed to be. Here are the problems we currently face:
* We have yet to find a way to determine, in the post install script of the
package, whether we are installing a server or not.
- The runnin
For the server edition, in my opinion the motd should contain
instructions for the user to access locally installed documentation with
whatever the default browser is, rather than referring to the website.
That's the whole point of installing the ubuntu-serverguide package on
the server edition (bu

Isn't it better to point to the ubuntu documentation instead of server
documentation, so there it no problem if we are on Desktop or Server? so
the MOTD will be:

When I ran openbsd the first time I was delighted with the ease of
getting good advice right after booting up. E.g. there is an
"afterboot" man page which you can also see here:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=afterboot&sektion=8
which gives lots of good advice and links to other cr
Couldn't you just patch /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh to add a different
message if the machine was installed from a Server ISO, or is running
the server kernel?
Use a different /etc/motd.tail possibly. A quick example:
# Update motd
uname -snrvm > /var/run/motd
$server=$(uname
Also note that this would appear on desktop consoles too, so can't
reference the server edition.
