How to disable the "newer kernel" warning in debian jessie?

  • 772

Debian jessie prompt on every apt-get upgrade, that a newer kernel was installed and a reboot is needed. How can this warning be disabled, because i want to reboot when it fits and i know that there is a newer kernel available?

And a similiar dialog is shown for "you need to restart these services because libraries were updated", which is re-shown again and again, even when i already decided "i want to restart this three ones and the two other ones should not be restarted" before.

  1. This is done by the needrestart package.

    To disable this you can create a file called /etc/needrestart/conf.d/silence_kernel.conf with the line $nrconf{kernelhints} = 0;

    Other available options are listed in /etc/needrestart/needrestart.conf
