Re: [lubuntu-users] Unexpected system restart requested.
Greetings, The difference between restarting after a regular software update and a release update is that the latter usually requires a restart just to be safe. For example, 14.04 -> 16.04 is two years of software updates. Open source software really evolves in that timespan. So if it is just a few updates, I totally see your point. But for something as massive as a release update, to be safe, you should restart. Hope that clears things up! -- Simon Quigley tsimo...@ubuntu.com tsimonq2 on Freenode -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

When it comes to mailing lists, I don't quite understand how Thunderbird works. Is there something unusual about those packages or is this a change in policy? It has been my experience since 6.06 that, unlike Windows, Linux usually does not need a restart with software updates. I don't know about other people, but once I get my desktop layout the way I want it, I'm in no hurry to restart and some of my PCs run for several days or even months without a restart. -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
Re: [lubuntu-users] Unexpected system restart requested.
Greetings, All of the packages are updated, and in those packages are system services that need to be restarted for the update to be applied. It's just easier to reboot than to have to restart each process one by one. -- Simon Quigley tsimo...@ubuntu.com tsimonq2 on Freenode -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
[lubuntu-users] Unexpected system restart requested.
I'm curious. Can anyone enlighten me? What is it about the latest updates to 14.04 that requires a system restart? I thought it was only kernel updates that needed a restart and I see no evidence of a kernel update in the list. -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
