How to stop ubuntu pop-up "Daemons using outdated libraries" when using apt to install or update packages?
Aug 18
I have newly installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS recently and I found that every time when I using apt to install or update packages, it will ask me about Which service should be restarted ?, I don't konw which should be restared and actually I don't want to restart any service when I'm using it.
This annoys me and I want to know how to disable this when using apt in Ubuntu 22?

This is new in Ubuntu 22.04. The trouble in this case is with the needrestart command, which is part of the apt-get upgrade process in Ubuntu now. By default this is set to "interactive" mode which causes the interruption of scripts.
To change this behavior, we can edit the /etc/needrestart/needrestart.conf file, changing the line:
#$nrconf{restart} = 'i';
to
$nrconf{restart} = 'a'; (if we want to restart the services automatically) or $nrconf{restart} = 'l'; to simply list the services that need restart.

NEEDRESTART_MODE=a environment variable to your command to restart the services automatically, e.g.: sudo NEEDRESTART_MODE=a apt-get dist-upgrade --yes
