Well kde4 has a special ability for loosing configurations, i can't see any reason because a failed s2ram should destroy configurations that were not in editing-phase since months. As workaround i suggest alias s2ram=sync;s2ram Now that i think of it. We could force a sync before suspending. Maybe patching s2ram to sync() before taking any action? This wouldn't solve the problem but could help making the cases when it occurs more rare. And anyway the filesystem would be in a better state when it is fscked. > If you don't like that answer, you'll find that it's true for any > other OS (i.e., BSD, OpenSolaris, etc.) --- so either KDE needs to > get with the program, or find its users gradually switching to other > windowing systems that have sanely written libraries. I agree here, but kde guys are hard to convince that something needs to be changed... Bye -- Salvo Tomaselli signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I’d suggest to reword the 3rd paragraph a bit, it is too advertising for a package description, and should be more objective. Especially given that the package does not provide a decentralized social network, but only a building block.

Yes, you can certainly use it that way.

Perhaps I should be trying to get the spec referred to in useful

Bug#611422: ITP: libmath-base85-perl -- Perl extension for base 85 numbers, as referenced by RFC 1924
Package: wnpp
Owner: tak...@debian.org
Severity: wishlist
* Package name: libmath-base85-perl
Version : 0.2
Upstream Author : Tony Monroe
* URL or Web page : http://cpan.org/
* License : Perl
Description : Perl extension for base 85 numbers, as referenced by RFC
1924
RFC 1924 describes a compact, fixed-size representation of IPv6 addresses
which uses a base 85 number system. Math::Base85 handles some of the uglier
details of it.
.
The base 85 numbers (from 0 to 84) are as follows:
.
0..9 A..Z a..z ! # $ % & ( ) * + - ; < = > ? @ ^ _ ` { | } ~
.
At the moment, there's not much in this module. But it should be sufficient
for the purposes of RFC 1924.
.
This module has a variable called $Math::Base85::base85_digits, which is a
string containing the digits of the base 85 alphabet from lowest (0) to
highest (~), in that order.
