For security reasons, many sceurity tools including lynis recommend
to install needrestart package in order to automatically restart
services if some have been upgraded.

On the copmmand line, you are prompted to select or acknowledfge
services that should be restarted. So you need to enter some
keyboard input for at-get (dist-)upgrade to finish.

Plasma disco\xe7ver does not cope with this.

On PackageKit frontends, all transactions should be noninteractive, so
they shouldn't interrupt the process to ask for stuff.
One exception that we allow for compatibility is Debconf questions.
So, if needrestart uses Debconf, this is a bug in plasma-discover and
Discover should implement the Debconf frontend properly. If however
needrestart doesn't use Debconf, this issue is "won't fix".
From a quick look at the code, the former appears to be the case.

Cheers,

and blue layout. But I did not look at the code.
BTW : the fcat that by default it select packages as dist-upgrade would
is also problematic. Can this be configured?

Hello,
the Str+Alt+h is only a pragmatic solution for the problem.
Please fix the bug in xfce4-session, xfce-panel or other package.

Hello,

the Trick with Ctrl+Alt+h is only a pragmatic solution.

What mean the message from: sudo nala upgrade:

" ... xfce4-session outdated"
