How does ksplice work with Update Manager?
How does KSplice interact with Update Manager?
I have read the KSplice site about how it all works, but I have two remaining questions:
(1) Does KSplice *only* modify the running version of the kernel? Does Update Manager continue to download the new versions of the kernel and write them to the HDD, but the running one is patched by KSplice, or does KSplice do both (I would prefer it to only touch the running one so that, worst case, I could reboot to a standard Ubuntu kernel)?
(2) What happens with notifications? At the moment, if I install updates with Update Manager, I occasionally get a prompt telling me that I need to reboot. If I had Ksplice running, would this go away?
(3) Related to (2), if both Update Manager and KSplice be set to automatically update for security updates, will I never get prompted to reboot again and always be protected (I assume that I would still have to restart X for some updates)?
I currently use Mythbuntu as a PVR and don't update (restart) frequently because something is often recording. This would seem a great solution for me, especially as there is no charge for Uptrack for Ubuntu desktop.
