Hey, so i have kind of a noob question :D When i update all the packages on Tumbleweed with ‘sudo zypper dup’ there are many packages that need to get restarted since these active processes using deleted files. Normally i just restart my whole Computer for that but i wonder if there is another possibility, perhaps restarting only the libaries that are affected while my computer is still running. Is there a command for that or is it essential to restart the whole computer after updating?
May be a noob answer, but you only have to restart those were you actually want to use the updated version immediately. I did have problems updating certain packages (mainly firefox and file uh I mean directory browsers), but unless something stops working as intended you can just keep using your machine as usual. Packages will be “re” started upon next boot anyway.
There is
sudo zypper ps -swhich will show you all process needing a restart so you can manually handle them. I find it easier just to reboot though.So you really need to restart every single one instead of all at the same time? That sucks D:
I’ve never really looked for a way to do that. I suppose you could write a script to do it.
I could be wrong about this, but I don’t think you need to worry about it. Just keep doing your thing until you’re done, and then perform a restart when it’s convenient.
