Greetings, |

|
3 |
when I installed my first Gentoo system on my laptop back in September I |
4 |
had to accept the "~amd64" keyword for quite a few "xfce-*/*" packages |
5 |
due to stable versions not being available at all for some packages, and |
6 |
due to several of these unstable packages requiring unstable versions of |
7 |
their dependencies. But it worked, at least until recently: |
8 |
|
9 |
After a routine upgrade of Gentoo I could no longer hibernate nor susp- |
10 |
end my laptop. Rather I was simply confronted with a new login screen |
11 |
and my former session was gone completely. After I found the following |
12 |
in "/var/log/syslog" |

I checked the "emerge" logs, and sure enough package "xfce-base/xfce4- |
21 |
session" had just been upgraded to new unstable version 4.14.2. So I |
22 |
again downgraded it to version 4.14.1 (which meanwhile is stable), and |
23 |
the problem went away. |
24 |
|
25 |
Thus in case any of you is using the currently unstable version 4.14.2 |
26 |
of package "xfce-base/xfce4-session", beware! |
27 |
|

Sincerely, |
