Description Peter Szabados 2009-01-14 22:11:41 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Although I set in the power manager that if I press the power button, to show the log off dialog, when I actually press it, the system shuts down without any notifications the same way when I press it in the console screen (or type shutdown in the terminal).

Note that I use KDE 4.2 RC1, and I also have GNOME installed on my computer, and on that, when I press the power button, the shutdown dialog appears, as expected.

I use a Lenovo 3000 C200 laptop and Ubuntu.

I had the same problem from acpi-support in K/Ubuntu.
The scripts powerbuttom looks for the old kde3 programs.
If there isn't kde3, it does a simple shutdown.

I think the problem is not from powerdevil.

If you go to the KDE menu and choose "Logout", the Logout dialog is shown OK ?

Comment 3 Peter Szabados 2009-01-16 17:29:43 UTC

The logout window works. I can log out, reboot, shut down and hibernate from there as expected (I didn't try suspend, but I suppose it would work too). In fact, francisco_t is right, it is probably not with powerdevil. When I press the power button, the log off dialog appears, but the computer shuts down immediately after that (as with the poweroff command).

Comment 4 Dario Freddi 2009-01-18 12:51:54 UTC

In this case, you have some other agents messing with the power button. Filing a bug against Kubuntu would probably be useful, I'm marking this as upstream.

Comment 5 Per Ångström 2010-01-30 10:23:36 UTC

The downstream bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpid/+bug/508073, has been fixed.

And, shouldn't this bug have been resolved as DOWNSTREAM?
