Greetings, when I installed my first Gentoo system on my laptop back in September I had to accept the "~amd64" keyword for quite a few "xfce-*/*" packages due to stable versions not being available at all for some packages, and due to several of these unstable packages requiring unstable versions of their dependencies. But it worked, at least until recently:
After a routine upgrade of Gentoo I could no longer hibernate nor susp- end my laptop. Rather I was simply confronted with a new login screen and my former session was gone completely. After I found the following in "/var/log/syslog" Apr 3 13:37:16 tux kernel: xfce4-session[11142]: segfault at 8 ip 000055eff2f87539 sp 00007ffc8409e470 error 4 in xfce4-session[55eff2f75000+1c000] Apr 3 13:37:16 tux kernel: Code: 48 8d 35 fa e6 00 00 48 8d 3d b0 9d 00 00 e8 be dc fe ff 31 c0 eb c2 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 48 8b 04 24 31 f6 4c 89 ef <48> 8b 50 08 31 c0 e8 cc b2 ff ff 4c 89 e7 e8 24 f3 fe ff b8 01 00 Apr 3 13:37:16 tux lightdm[9818]: pam_unix(lightdm:session): session closed for user rainer Apr 3 13:37:16 tux polkitd[5036]: Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-session:/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session2 (system bus name :1.42, object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_GB.utf8) (disconnected from bus) Apr 3 13:37:16 tux sudo[4135]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root I checked the "emerge" logs, and sure enough package "xfce-base/xfce4- session" had just been upgraded to new unstable version 4.14.2. So I again downgraded it to version 4.14.1 (which meanwhile is stable), and the problem went away. Thus in case any of you is using the currently unstable version 4.14.2 of package "xfce-base/xfce4-session", beware! Sincerely, Rainer
