How do i completely disable ubuntu 16.04 lts motd banner that displays package update and dist upgrade available information for. eg.

475 packages can be updated.
0 updates are security updates.

I have moved these 3 files 90-updates-available, 91-release-upgrade, 98-reboot-requiredand those messages stopped showing up , i want to make sure if this is correct way

Have a look at dpkg-reconfigure landscape-common and the files in /etc/update-motd.d.

  • :) when i run dpkg-reconfigure landscape-common i get package not installed message. and yes i have looked into /etc/update-motd.d/.. and moved those 3 to somewhere else. i guess that will do the job – sherpaurgen Dec 05 '17 at 05:33
  • A bit of a ugly hack would be `chmod 0600 /etc/update-motd.d`. – William Sandin Dec 05 '17 at 05:35
