Ah, that is what I thought. |

This conflict what others have said. Curious. My take is that since |
19 |
I updated the major compiler, gcc, it warrants an --emptytree rebuild |
20 |
and reboot, just to be safe. It's a workstation, not a server, so it's |
21 |
time for a reboot, imho. |

OK, so I emerge checkrestart and ran it. And there are almost a dozen things |
28 |
it says need a reboot (mostly lxde). "These processes do not seem to have an |
29 |
associated init script to restart them". |
30 |
|
31 |
So I have to reboot anyways. Oh, the url on the "checkrestart" script |
32 |
now points to some advertisement that is unrelated, to a bug needs to |
33 |
be file to the github location? I did not know if this is the best new |
34 |
link, so I did not file this bug on checkrestart. |

Agreeded. But after a gcc update, I think it wise, especially since |
42 |
gcc-4.9 cometh....soon? |
