[Touch-packages] [Bug 244250] Re: Spurious reboot notifications caused by libssl upgrades.
A web server is supposed to retrieve data from database, run application logic, write back to database if needed, write an HTML document or JSON object to output, and wait for the next request. Ideally, it's stateless between requests. A desktop application, on the other hand, is more likely to have a lot of state in RAM that isn't persisted to the file system. In particular, you can't "simply restart" a web browser because when a browser restarts, it retrieves the HTML document open in each tab as if the user had navigated to it again. This incurs data loss in two ways: 1. If the user is offline, pages open in tabs for later reading will be replaced with "Cannot find server" error pages. (Chromium, for example, shows the "downasaur" minigame.) I often do this on my laptop so that I have something to read while riding the bus to work or wherever. 2. Several web applications, such as comment composition forms on Slashdot, lose DOM state if closed. When the browser navigates to the page again, the DOM is reset to what it was when the page was first opened, and the comment that the user was composing is lost. I imagine any webmail site that doesn't automatically save drafts in the background has the same problem, and even those that do save drafts will have a problem if the user is offline and the site doesn't use a Service Worker. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244250 Title: Spurious reboot notifications caused by libssl upgrades.

@mdeslaur: Again, thank you for your reply! Pardon my ignorance but I've never quite understood why that is - why is an update of libssl different from an update of other libs where you can simply restart the depending applications/daemons? And why is it different on a desktop? Maybe these questions require lengthy answers so if you could point me in a direction where I read up on these questions I'd be very grateful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244250 Title: Spurious reboot notifications caused by libssl upgrades.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 244250] Re: Spurious reboot notifications caused by libssl upgrades.
On Ubuntu 14.04 this bug still persists. Is there any reason why libssl would require different treatment than other libraries? I.e. why wouldn't it suffice to restart services depending on libssl or libcrypto? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244250 Title: Spurious reboot notifications caused by libssl upgrades.
