I updated the description to something more accurate. I think your question/bug report is more accurately reflected by the updated description now.
While the Reboot icon is enabled, the program will check to see if a reboot is required and show the pop-up. If you re-run adept/apt/synaptic during this time and have not rebooted, this may trigger the balloon to re-appear (still digging into the code). So, how often does the balloon tip show up for you? Once every 15 min or more like every minute or two? What happens if you leave the system idle for a period of time? Periodically notifying (reminding) the user to reboot is a good idea, as services may need to be restarted to work and without a reboot a crash could occur. The balloon tip does this. Though, if it's popping up for you every minute or so, then there is some other bug happening and will need to be investigated. ** Changed in: update-notifier-kde (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- Kubuntu Restart Notification Balloon Should not Repeatedly show up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/271419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
