Ubuntu 20.04 Server does not have a graphical user interface (GUI) by default, so there is no welcome screen to edit. Instead, you will see a command-line interface (CLI) when you log in to the server.
However, you can customize the message that is displayed when users log in to the server by editing the /etc/motd file. The “motd” stands for “message of the day” and is displayed to users after they log in.
To edit the motd file, you can follow these steps:
- Open the terminal on your Ubuntu server.
- Type the following command to open the motd file in the nano text editor:
- sudo nano /etc/motd
- Edit the contents of the file to include your desired message.
- Save the changes by pressing Ctrl+O and then exit nano by pressing Ctrl+X.
After following these steps, the next time a user logs in to the server, they will see your customized message displayed in the terminal.
