This is the first I've heard of any recommendation like this. If running `dnf upgrade` from a graphical console is such a big and well-known risk, then why isn't it mentioned in the dnf documentation? I've posted about this on the dnf Bugzilla.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1381785 I'm having a hard time finding anything about this in the Fedora Wiki either. If you could recommend any particular reading that could explain this some more, I'd appreciate it. I tried to read every message in this email thread, but I'm still not clear: It seems the bug that inspired the original post is based on certain graphics hardware, but you still say it's best not to run system updates from a graphical session at all anyway. Is most of the risk related specifically to X and the large software stack that runs on it, or is it simply a problem of numbers, where more running processes means more things could crash while dnf installs updates? Fedora Workstation users are apparently recommended to use GNOME Software's reboot/update feature; what's the recommended way to update all packages on instances of Fedora Server or Fedora Cloud? _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
