Not the OP, but I do it so I can use dnf to update with the gui turned off. When I want to run dnf, I just logout of X, and run it in a virtual console, and then start it as a user afterwards if I want it again. A hack to accomplish most of what Gnome gets by always rebooting after an update. The restart of X will usually reload any libraries that have been updated. Doesn't work for the kernel, of course, that still requires a reboot. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
