double upgrade messages in ssh welcome

Asked by F.Colby

I'm receiving double upgrade messages when logging into my Ubuntu cluster. Been happening for the last few months I think. Only the first one is real. I've done the second one, but the message continues to show up, along with the double "Welcome to Ubuntu!" message.

Any ideas for fixing this?

Thanks,

Frank

Hello F.Colby,

First backup your original file:
sudo cp /etc/motd.tail /etc/motd.tail.backup

Make it empty:
sudo sh -c 'echo "" > /etc/motd.tail'

Logout then login like you did before.
Hopefully this will solve the problem...
