Well, we can't just reboot the system out from under you. But if you've been testing updating using pup, you've noticed the nice little dialog you get on update sets which include a kernel that asks if you want to reboot[1] > I had another thought last night... what is upstream's thoughts about > suspend/no-shutdown in the menus for livecd gnome desktops?

I think a mountain is being made out of a mole hill here. A suggestion was made[2] and it was tried. Some UI suggestions work well in practice, some don't. As it turns out, the only way to generally find out with UI changes is to try them and see Jeremy [1] There's also a little icon in the package list to help cue the fact that you'll be suggested to reboot after applying the update. Right now, it's using a hard-coded list of packages... once the update metadata is firmed up, it'll use that instead [2] And contrary to Jesse's assertion, it's not really "upstream" at this point -- upstream GNOME isn't shipping g-p-m in 2.14 although it will probably be included for 2.16. There was discussion there about this being a "better" UI, but given all of the reasons people have outlined, it will probably be chalked up to an experiment which didn't work out for this best this time -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
