| zequence | "Software" has a whole new way of updating the system. The updates are installed during a restart, rather while logged in. | 13:17 |
| DalekSec | ...So they require you to restart more? | 13:17 |
| zequence | If you use it | 13:17 |
| zequence | I know some people mess up their systems cause they interrupted an update | 13:18 |
| zequence | Easily fixed for someone like us, but not for a greenie | 13:18 |
| DalekSec | So back to windows days where if you update your browser you need to restart and restarting takes forever due to installing updates? | 13:18 |
| zequence | I once earned some money helping a guy doing an update from the TTY since he was not able to login graphically because of an interrupted update | 13:19 |
| zequence | He had called a lot of businesses in town. All of them said, reinstall | 13:20 |
| zequence | Was a standard Ubuntu install | 13:20 |
| zequence | Not sure if "software" is the way to go, but I would at least add some auto-recovery thing that happens when you boot, and the system realizes an update had been interrupted | 13:21 |
| DalekSec | dpkg can recover from a lot of stuff, actually. Just have to hit it hard enough. Yeeeah, I'm not fond of Windows style updates, doesn't matter too much since I won't be using it either way, but still. | 13:22 |
| zequence | Sure, dpkg works fine, if the user knows how to use it. Shouldn't be too hard to add a script that checks and fixes during boot | 13:23 |
