Title:
  [Ubuntu 25.10 Questing] Errors shown in every text session when piboot
  is not enabled

Status in flash-kernel package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in flash-kernel source package in Questing:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 25.10 Questing for Raspberry Pi. These errors are shown in
  every text session when piboot is not enabled:

  cat: /boot/firmware/current/state: No such file or directory (os error 2)
  piboot is in an invalid or unexpected state:
  Please file an issue: ubuntu-bug flash-kernel
  run-parts: /etc/update-motd.d/90-piboot-try exited with return code 2

  "/etc/update-motd.d/90-piboot-try" runs the command "/usr/sbin/piboot-
  try --status" that don't have in account the possibility of having
  piboot disabled so as file "/boot/firmware/current/state" just doesn't
  exists it's mistaken with a piboot invalid/unexpected state.

  I suggest a change in command piboot-try or in "/etc/update-
  motd.d/90-piboot-try" to first test if piboot is enabled to continue
  checking.
