Is all that is required to reload the daemon as in restarting it. zypper ps isn't the brightest bulb in the room. Many systemd implementation automatically hook "systemctl daemon-reload" on systemd upgrade (I haven't looked at the openSUSE .spec file for it, but I would be surprised if it didn't)
After I run the daemon-reload, if zypper ps is still unhappy, I ignore it. It's not windows, no need to reboot except for kernel updates. (or unexplained Plasma or Gnome issues....)
I usually find that daemon-reload doesn't affect one or all of the user instances of systemd. I shall try your advice. If something doesn't work later on, I can always reboot then. Thank you.
Frankly, it is far easier to reboot. Yes, Linux is not Windows but still, restarting updated "things" is not that easy, some must be done in an exact sequence, and some do not restart perfectly. Strange things do sometimes happen, so the faster route, no thinking needed, no hassle, is just rebooting.
And if you can not reboot, simply do not update. Delay the update till you can reboot if needed.
I hate agreeing with Carlos, I really do, but he’s absolutely right here The truths he shares here are some of those firmly embraced by MicroOS, which doesn’t even write to the running system to avoid causing the kind of random problems mentioned elsewhere in this thread. Better to reboot from a known consistent system to a new consistent system rather than swapping around libraries, drivers, and the like while things are running and perhaps introducing untestable conditions as a result. -- Richard Brown Linux Distribution Engineer - Future Technology Team SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Frankenstraße 146, D-90461 Nuremberg, Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Managing Directors/Geschäftsführer: Ivo Totev, Andrew Myers, Andrew McDonald, Martje Boudien Moerman
