Hello,
I always wanted to ask: do you need to reboot after updating packages like kernel, glibc, postgresql?
Or do you need to restart the postgresql service after updating it with yum?
Regards Alex

A reboot should be only necessary when kernel has been upgraded. or you go with ksplice (www.ksplice.com)

A reboot is also required in the cases of a glibc update unless you take the time to restart all services that are running and logout and then log back in to interactive shell sessions.

I've also noticed that Firefox will not operate correctly after some updates, and a reboot seems to fix this.

Strange. Never needed to do that. Of course, I *exit* from FF *before* doing a yum update when I know a new FF is in the pipeline.

Maybe that's because my machine is running generally 24/7, and I do quite often leave FF running on 2-3 desktops, with several tabs open at once. Then yum runs each night as a cron job. But even so, if I shut down all instances of FF and start one fresh instance again, IIRC I still seem to need to do a reboot *sometimes* to get things back in sync again.

My machine also runs 24/7, but never run yum unattended and never leave FF running (I actually logout of my desktop machine when I am not sitting at it).

I have experienced strange behaviour from Firefox once or twice after doing a yum update. I believe it was not because Firefox was updated but because a bunch of GTK related stuff was updated which Firefox uses, hence why it got confused. I don't remember it's exact odd behaviour in that situation, but I just remember I had to logout/login again to fix it. Perhaps I also restarted GDM while at the login prompt for good measure but a reboot was NOT necessary.

Yep, I've seen the same. XML errors on rendering pages, or the search box not working but everything else seeming fine.

Logging out from your X session and then restarting it (ctrl-alt-backspace) should suffice to get Firefox to work again with an updated glibc.

Thanks fo that tip Leonard.
I will try that next time Firefox seems to be acting oddly.
