So a little context here -- update-notifier-common is installed on the images. It contains a cronjob that runs once daily to check updates and modifies the apt configuration as well. What is happening with the images is that on first-boot, the cronjob hasn't had a chance to run.
Based on this, the actual bug here is that the motd does not display updates when the user ssh'es in. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1010873 Title: Ubuntu ec2 server instance with update-notifier-common doesn't show the existing updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/byobu/+bug/1010873/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
