When I ssh
into my Mythbuntu box, I get this message:
Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-32-generic x86_64)
* Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/
New release '12.10' available.
Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.
Last login:
$
But I don't intend to upgrade to 12.10, because Mythbuntu recommends using LTS releases only.
How do I suppress the "New release '12.10' available" message? I don't want to be notified until the next LTS release is available.
I've already gone to Update Manager > Settings > Updates and selected "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: For long-term support versions", but that didn't get rid of this message.
The other answers aren't quite right, but combining them put me on the right track.
/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
controls what updates you'll be notified about. /usr/lib/update-manager/release-upgrade-motd
generates the "update available" message. The problem is that release-upgrade-motd
caches the message, which means that once it's been generated, changing /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
doesn't get rid of the message.
So the answer is:
Tell Update Manager what releases you want to be notified about.
sudo rm /var/lib/update-notifier/release-upgrade-available
to get rid of the cached message.
Note: For version 13.04 (and later), the path has changed. So point 2. to get rid of the cached message is now:
sudo rm /var/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-available
