motd-news is present in Nvidia Jetson Nano (derived from Ubuntu) and Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi. It is enabled by default and also calling Home Ubuntu via Amazon Cloud.
motd-news is also present in Ubuntu Core 18 for embedded systems (like Tesla Car) but unlike Ubuntu Server and Desktop Distro it is not enabled by default. I don't have a Tesla car to verify if it is enabled or not. unxz ubuntu-core-18-amd64.img.xz sudo mount -o loop,offset=$((106496*512)) ubuntu-core-18-amd64.img /mnt/ sudo unsquashfs -d /tmp/core18 /mnt/system-data/var/lib/snapd/seed/snaps/core18_1668.snap /tmp/core18/etc/default/motd-news /tmp/core18/etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news /tmp/core18/lib/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/motd-news.timer /tmp/core18/var/lib/systemd/deb-systemd-helper-enabled/motd-news.timer.dsh-also /tmp/core18/var/lib/systemd/deb-systemd-helper-enabled/timers.target.wants/motd-news.timer sudo grep ENABLED /tmp/core18/etc/default/motd-news ENABLED=0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867424 Title: motd-news transmitting private hardware data without consent or knowledge in background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/1867424/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
