why do I get this message to upgrade to ubuntu pro after sudo apt upgrade?
why do I get this message to upgrade to ubuntu pro after sudo apt upgrade?
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
I got rid of it by signing up for Ubuntu Pro. Doesn't cost me a thing and keeps the security updates coming in.
How does signing up work? What do they ask in terms of your data (email, name, address, more)? I tried finding out myself but their website misbehaved for some reason.
It's been a while but I'm pretty sure it's just an email for the Ubuntu One account. Haven't ever gotten any junk mail from them so I don't even remember which email I signed up with lol
Thank you for answering!
The amount of downvotes on this comment is a symptom of how toxic this community has become.
There's also the herd mentality; i.e. peeps like to up vote something that has already been up voted and down vote something that has already been down voted. I was the first to up vote; with my vote it became +2 -7. So, since then, it has received 4 up votes and 6 down votes. Which is at least an improvement.
The point I wanted to make is that there's more to it. I wouldn't simply refer to it as symptom of toxicity and call it a day.
that just reinforces their bad behavior
I don't consider it bad. I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
