this never happened before, it’s also not happening ion my backup computer (same OS, xubuntu 24.04).
Message: get more security updates through ubuntu pro with esm-apps enabled, learn more about ubuntu pro <url here>
How do I get rid of it.
Ubuntu never advertised itself so blatantly.
Wow that’s a real douche maneuver
sudo apt remove ubuntu-advantage-toolspackage ubuntu-advantage-tools is not installed, so not removed.
I can however remove ubuntu-advantage-desktop-daemon, together with apturl: common and apturl software-properties-gtk.
Should I?
Ah - that’s all I had to do to solve it on Ubuntu server 22.04. Maybe desktop is different, maybe 24.04 is different. You can try removing additional packages or following other instructions. I won’t post any links here, as I see different possible solutions and haven’t tried any other than the one above. Let us know what works.
How do I get rid of it.
Reinstall Debian… Problem solved, and you get rid of snap as a bonus!
This is the best answer.
As someone who stopped using Ubuntu since 2016 due to Canonical’s bullshit, what’s this “Ubuntu Pro” nonsense? Is there some premium track or something? If so, that’s disgusting and I hate it.
Ubuntu never advertised itself so blatantly.
Canonical advertising their products has been a thing on Ubuntu server motd for years
