Public bug reported: landscape-common has an MOTD component called landscape-sysinfo. Historically that used update-motd to display cached information. update-motd has been deprecated in favor of pam_motd, but landscape- common was never changed accordingly.
The situation we have now in landscape-common's debconf is: - "Cache sysinfo in /etc/motd": places a symlink in /etc/update-motd.d. With pam_motd, there is no cache, so that script is called on every login. - "Run sysinfo on every login": places the same symlink in /etc/profile.d, removes the one from /etc/update-motd.d. End result is the same as before: script is called on every login - "Do not display sysinfo on login": remove /etc/profile.d and /etc/update-motd.d symlinks. This is the only option that is currently working as advertised. ** Affects: landscape-client Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: landscape-client (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: landscape-client (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: landscape-client (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: landscape-client (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: landscape-client (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: landscape-client (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752632 Title: The motd message is not cached To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/landscape-client/+bug/1752632/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
