Ubuntu Logo in color ASCII art

[lyleharper]

Original thread by lemix (2006) - Ubuntu Ascii Logo Program
- A program written in C to create the Ubuntu logo
2nd thread by coralsaw (2007) - Ubuntu Logo in color ASCII art
- An motd file that could be output to the screen

Here is the exact same look to the original logo output from the above posts but using Bash shell script...which could be incorporated into a dynamic motd banner at login.

Color code chart has been included so you can easily swap out the 3 colors with any other colors you want.

Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS

For those that want to know how to use this in your SSH login for version 20.04, here's how:

#1 - Disable the header and help text sections of the current process by removing the execute permission.

sudo chmod 644 /etc/update-motd.d/00-header
sudo chmod 644 /etc/update-motd.d/10-help-text
sudo chmod 644 /etc/update-motd.d/50-landscape-sysinfo
sudo chmod 644 /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news

#2 - Create a new script that will execute before the remaining scripts (updates available, reboot required, etc.)

sudo touch /etc/update-motd.d/01-custom-logo
sudo chmod 755 /etc/update-motd.d/01-custom-logo
sudo chown root:root /etc/update-motd.d/01-custom-logo

#3 - Now edit the 01-custom-logo file and copy/paste one of the above examples.

NOTE: If you want the Internal IP, the output format changed a bit in 20.04. Find this line:

printf "     ${color3}\\   / ${color1},..-\`   ,${nocolor}   Internal IP: `/sbin/ifconfig ens32 | /bin/grep "inet addr" | /usr/bin/cut -d ":" -f 2 | /usr/bin/cut -d " " -f 1`\n"

and change it to:

printf "     ${color3}\\   / ${color1},..-\`   ,${nocolor}   Internal IP: `/usr/sbin/ip -4 address show ens32 | /usr/bin/grep inet | /usr/bin/cut -d ' ' -f 6`\n"

Assuming your NIC is "ens32" but if not, make sure you change it to your NIC name so it can find it.

#4 - Make sure it runs how you would expect by executing it

/etc/update-motd.d/01-custom-logo

#5 - Within 10 minutes your SSH login will display your crispy-new ASCII art
