Recently after an update I'm seeing some additional greyed out items for Ubuntu Pro as well as an "Enable Ubuntu Pro" button on the software updater screen. I don't want to install Ubuntu Pro at this time and I also want to disable it from being shown on the software updater screen - see image below.

What are the steps to do that?

  • Release Info: Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  • Description: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
  • Release: 22.04
  • Codename: jammy

NB: This question has to do with the Software Update UI, not the command line interface.

Edit: tried this:

sudo mv /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf.bak

then

sudo apt update
  • This did remove the additional Pro packages from list on the command line, but had no effect on the Software Updater UI.
  • So, still looking for good Software Updater UI solution.

There is a guy who patched the used package of ubuntu-advantage-tools with a fake version of it. That resolved the same issue for me!

You can find a guide and the files at this GitHub page
