SSH welcome message

[Tido]

Hi,

 

I cannot exactly say why, but I never liked the 'emptyness' of the IP-Address on the SSH welcome message

System load:   0.82 0.29 0.10  	Up time:       1 min		
Memory usage:  3 % of 3867MB 	IP:            192.168.11.7

 

So I thought it needs a lot of space for a long Up time. So, the space is reasonable. Looking at the other information provided, which needs as well many letters?

My suggestion to move it like this  and adding: -Address  (IP is not the complete term  (Internet-Protocol):

IP-Address:    192.168.11.7  	Up time:       1 min		
Memory usage:  3 % of 3867MB 	System load:   0.82 0.29 0.10

 

adding 'Address'  might fix the emptyness as well:

System load:   0.82 0.29 0.10  	Up time:       1 min		
Memory usage:  3 % of 3867MB 	IP-Address:    192.168.11.7

 

It is just the welcome display  but  the first thing you see  (you have only one chance for a first impression   )

 

Your thoughts on that, I am curious?

I think I did 3 mock ups and put some text to it. In other words: I tried my best with little effort to show

 

Alright, I just logged out and in again.  Igor already pimped it    however,  I wish to add some changes

Can we group the information - what belongs together  or  is related to eachother like:

 

Memory /ZRAM /Usage should always have 2 digits like:  02%  not just  2%  (or the one (1) digit-No. should act like there was leading zero)  |  the %  sign  should always follow straight after the number, no space inbetween.  Now it is mixed.

MB vs Mb  is mixed on Memory /ZRAM.   Hmm, and if we have 2 letters for MB,   Usage should have that too:  GB

Isn't the technical term:  IP-Address   (internet protocol address) ?

"Usage of /:"   what is meant here?  SDcard /Nand /emmc  which is basically:  storage  (this would then fit to the wording on the Autotest).

Memory usage:  37 % of 3874MB 	System load:   0.15 0.22 0.25  	
Zram usage:    1 % of 1023Mb 	Up time:       3:53 hours	
Usage of /:    18% of 29G    	IP-aDDreSS:    172.13.0.1 192.168.15.5
CPU temp:      56°C

Can I ship a PR like this?

I need help on:

1. Up time  und IP-Address  seem to get there 'colon'  from anywhere, I have no clue.
2. The gap for the Up time I cannot fix, I have no clue.. again,  although I tried: https://regex101.com/
3. System storage: 10% of 32GB       Attached storage: 1% of 4GB   -  should have a leading 0  couldn't figure that out either

More proper writing would be 'CPU temperature' and 'IP-address'.

Feel free to PR changes. Also the writing has changed in the meantime. Please check code next time before bumping old topics.

Note to self to create PR later on, see https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/packages/bsp/common/etc/update-motd.d/30-armbian-sysinfo

IP address is now written correctly and I will leave the temp as is.

A recent install of mine greets me with just a “last login” line. No box. Weird. Why is that?

On first boot did you cancel out between settings root pw and user creation? Not sure but the motd box might be enabled after first boot initialization has been completed successful only.

Oh yes I did w this one. I didn’t see the point for the other user. Ha!

Since this topic was bumped. I am changing the way how welcome screen looks like and perhaps there are some ideas for improvements.
