This wasn't necessarily about security updates, but any update that requires a restart. For example, all kernel updates require a restart, even if they are not security updates. Most security updates don't require a full restart of the system, as they only require individual services to be restarted.
Really, most times when a user updates, the installation of the updates will require at least a log out/in of the user's session, as core components of the session or libraries they use, are very often included in the list of updated packages. There probably isn't a good way to distinguish between session restart, and system restart, in these cases though, so a system restart being recommended would take care of both cases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1180860 Title: Session (gear) indicator not changing to red when restart required To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-session/+bug/1180860/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
