Hi there, some months ago, i don't remember which or what modified the file /etc/motd
i put a copy of the corrupted /etc/motd on my mediafire files -> https://www.mediafire.com/file/4jslo0j6 ... /motd/file

Because when i login on tty i saw a lot of stranger characters :

after i manual delete the file and reinstall package etc the problem was fixed

Code: Select all

rm -rf /etc/motd
echo -ne 'y\n' | slpkg update ; slpkg -s slack --reinstall etc
cat /etc/motd

Linux.
i try again login on tty3 with root user, and not show anymore the strange characters.

But i don't have any clue what thing make that corruption of /etc/motd
and today was when i found the problem was on that specific file.
