There's also the inconvenience of delaying shutdown considerably.
Imagine I'm running out of battery life, and the system starts applying updates?
Suspend to disk.
But anyway, I like the idea and your argument does not really defeat it.
Simply add a checkbox or something like that to the logout/shutdown dialogue: "apply updates when logging out". If it is enabled by default users can disable it per usecase.
We need to make this simple to use.
Maybe we even offer a additional checkbox: [ ] don't ask me again
Just noting that shutdown is a really bad time to do prolonged tasks. The function should be triggered explicitly, like a notification "You have updates - install now?" with a check to shut down after it's done. So I leave it doing it and "forget" (up to a point). Updates should never be compulsory, that's my opinion, but even when done compulsory (which is sometimes useful for non-tech-savvy users since they don't really know when it's best to do them), when it is, it shouldn't be getting in the way of the user's tasks. In this case, shut down, or startup. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
