HOWTO! Turn off annoying Ubuntu Pro advertising, e.g. for Ubuntu 22.04

Are you also annoyed by messages like:

“Get more security updates though Ubuntu Pro with ‘esm-apps’ enabled”

when you update your Ubuntu system in the terminal with APT? No problem! I’ll show you 5 possible ways out and of course how you can get over it.

Commands:

Goto directory:
cd /etc/apt/apt.conf.d

Backup file
sudo cp -p 20apt-esm-hook.conf $USER/Downloads

Truncate file
sudo truncate -s0 20apt-esm-hook.conf

check empty file
cat 20apt-esm-hook.conf

redo upgrade command
sudo apt upgrade

Advert is gone!! 🙂
