Then don't get information about the system's state via desktop notifications either, because the default Ubuntu WSL system does not start the Ubuntu desktop. * To show important system information to users being dropped to a shell directly the show-motd package was created to show MOTD using a /etc/profile.d script. * To have this script in place ubuntu-wsl needs to recommend show-motd. [ Test Case ] * Use 'apt-cache show ubuntu-wsl' to check if ubuntu-wsl recommends update-motd. [ Regression Potential ] * Pulling in a /etc/profile.d script that exits can make the started shell exit immediately. For this reason the shell does not exit in any case. The script can also throw confusing errors. To avoid such errors the script is tested in an autopkgtest and many related packages were fixed where errors were observed. The update-motd package adds Breaks: against related package versions which are known to show errors in MOTD when being run as a regular user. See LP: #1855271 for more details. [ Other Info ] * The update-motd SRU needs to be accepted before this ubuntu-meta SRU because show-motd is a new binary package of update-motd. * The SRU upload to Eoan waits for the acceptance of update-motd to Eoan and also for the seed merge.
