Try the following command and see if you are getting any errors:
sudo run-parts /etc/update-motd.d
There was a file named /etc/update-motd.d/20-cpu-checker that was causing
my error and preventing the motd update. I had to delete the file.
Here are the scripts in my /etc/update-motd.d/ on a fresh install of 12.04:
$ sudo ls -la /etc/update-motd.d/

I have landscape-common installed because it gives system information at ssh
logon like system load and the number of processes, etc.
