So simple question is, how do other gui opensuse users live with this. How do you have a nice and incomplicated life where your desktop machine just continues to work.
I gave up on this long ago.
An application is an executable binary and other files. If you install an update, while it's running, you get an old binary still sitting in memory but with other files replaced with newer ones. If they are incompatible it has to go nuts.
I used to play with running `zypper ps` to see which programs needs restarting after installing updates. But for example restarting dbus makes whole system deeply broken.
yes, it would as to restart dbus *requires* a reboot.
I use Tumbleweed and usually once a week I logout from graphical session, go to text console, run zypper dup and then reboot. It's the only safe way.
I only reboot when it appears convenient and experience no problems. replaced binaries still have access (in memory) for the lib's they require. "only safe way" is an oxymoron. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode
