After installing a custom package I should force a reboot of the system.
I looked at couple of solutions to this
use
notify-send
to display user notification followed by a reboot command, which did work as planned. But the user notification is only shown when I install the package from command line and not when I installed through Software Center.I came across some posts where they suggested adding the following to the postinst script
[ -x /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required ] && \ /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required || true
Tried including the above in the postinst script but all it does is updating the two files
/var/run/reboot-required.pkgs
and /var/run/reboot-required
with restart information.It neither displayed user-notification nor rebooted the system after package is installed.
Is there a way to display reboot required user notification in Ubuntu/Fedora/Open SUSE ?
