Title:
Uninformative, repetitive and extremely long MOTD message
Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I just SSH'd into my desktop, and was greeted with an additional _182_
lines of MOTD output thanks to fwupd (this content is in
/run/private/motd.d/85-fwupd, which is how I know fwupd is at fault).
There are a few problems here:
* The same content appears to be repeated 3 times
* It has no indication of what this tree output is, you just have to guess that it's to do with firmware updates
* The tree output itself is very wasteful of vertical space; it take 3 lines to give me the name of my device, and ~20 before I can work out that this is even describing updates
* It has no call to action; I have no idea how I would apply these updates to my system
I've included my full MOTD to demonstrate just how bad this looks:
Welcome to Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch) (GNU/Linux
5.4.5-050405-generic x86_64)
* Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com
* Management: https://landscape.canonical.com
* Support: https://ubuntu.com/advantage
* Overheard at KubeCon: "microk8s.status just blew my mind".
