Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources When I press "shutdown key" (Fn+Moon) on my notebook XF86Sleep is emitted, but powerdevil does not put the notebook to S3. With xev I can see that everything should be fine: KeyRelease event, serial 62, synthetic NO, window 0x4c00001, root 0x8b, subw 0x0, time 8896913, (97,93), root:(102,118), state 0x0, keycode 150 (keysym 0x1008ff2f, XF86Sleep), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False In the profiles "When sleep button is pressed: Suspend to Ram" is selected.
This feature is very much needed for the many users who's suspend button doesn't work properly with acpid yet suspends from the command line.
I want to confirm this. Needless to say, the same goes for XF86Standby.
There is a temporary workaround here: http://linuxbasement.com/content/when-powerdevil-does-not-recognize-suspend-button-kde-42 Obviously it would be nice to see this fixed properly.
Hmm. I had already tried this kind of workaround. Unfortunately, KDE (or rather Qt) doesn't seem to able to recognize the key XF86Sleep in the first place. I.e., when I try to assign the corresponding key to a command, I get the message "Qt doesn't support the key you just pressed." So I think the problem might be deeper buried in Qt than the Powerdevil.
Given the above workaround, it seems that there are actually two bugs involved: * Powerdevil doesn't handle the key XF86Sleep or XF86Standby correctly, however, Qt/KDE is able to recognize the key correctly. * Under some circumstances, Qt doesn't seem to be able to recognize the key at all. This bug report is more focussed on the first bug. Should I file the second one as a separate bug?
kpowersave recognises the suspend key and responds appropriately, though maybe it is listening for HAL events or something rather than keypress events. It also has some other problems with kde4...
I can confirm this on Arch Linux (stock KDE 4.3.3). Unable to fix in the above workaround because I'm guessing that Powerdevil has already bound to the Sleep button. I updated the workaround a bit (though I had to use a different button): http://linuxtidbits.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/sleep-button-in-kde-4-workaround/
*** Bug 186368 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I decided out of the blue to attempt this in 4.3.3 In the past I had a custom xbindkeys script to run a dbus command to enable sleep. I have been using that for almost a year and did not think to change. I disabled my script and tried the XF86Sleep keyboard key and it worked! Can someone else confirm this in 4.3.3?
I think the resolution is probably thanks to Qt, since it's probably Qt's fault for not recognizing that button. Would you mind sharing your Qt version and eventual patches applied to it?
There is royal mess with these keys. My notebook generates XF86Suspend when I press sleep (Moon) button which is silently ignored. Should I open separate bug report for every key or can it be handled here? KDE 4.3.77/Qt 4.6.0
Tried several workarounds and still can't get this fixed. Anyone have any ideas?
I spoke too soon on previous post. It does not work with KDE only. I really think it is a solid issue since solid is responsible for passing the sleep keystroke to powerdevil. Solid is not passing the keystroke. My working solution is as follows: install xbindkeys -- it will pick up keystrokes before getting passed to kde create an executable shell script (I put mine in ~/bin) called solidsuspend with the following contents: #!/bin/bash solid-powermanagement suspend 'to_ram' Then update your .xbindkeysrc with the following entry "~/bin/solidsuspend" XF86Sleep -- If the moon button corresponds to key XF86Suspend, then replace that above -- check out using cli app xev to get the keystroke. Then ensure that xbindkeys is running at session startup. That's it.
Thanks David, got it working. Definitely will do for now.

In KDE 4.4, the key is recognized by Qt and KDE (I can assign it to shortcuts, etc), but Powerdevil still needs to listen for the key and sleep when it hears the key, for the cases where hardware doesn't handle the suspend key. (perhaps using a KAction so that it isn't hardcoded/can be configurable.)
Created attachment 41193 [details] Global hotkey definition mapping the Sleep key to a org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Suspend dbus call Importing the attached file in the Input Actions view of the System Settings results in the desired behaviour. However, I can't judge the universality of this solution.
Hi I am just wondering what the status of this bug report is? I have a Lenovo X301 my suspend key is not working as of kde 4.4.4. From xev for suspend: KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x1e00001, root 0xae, subw 0x0, time 3108384, (1072,690), root:(1076,713), state 0x0, keycode 150 (keysym 0x1008ff2f, XF86Sleep), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False Also, I don't know if this is related but when I close my laptop screen, my laptop does not go to sleep. This would be expected behavior and I can open a separate bug report if appropriate.
I just wanted to mention that Fabian Moser's attachment in Comment #17 works here for my Lenovo x301. fn+f4 suspends my laptop as it should.
I have the same issue on my X201 on Sabayon Linux with KDE 4.4.5. After modifying my Xorg keymap to not emit XF86Wakeup if I hit the Fn key, the Fn-F4 shortcut for XF86Sleep started working using the script from post #17. Of course this is not a true fix as this seems to bypass KDE.
Can button events be duplicated in HAL and evdev? http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/01/28/gnome-power-manager-and-buttons/ suggest so. Then this would be hard to fix with the hal backend. In which case the hotkey mapping in comment #17 would only work for users who have this problem - it might cause problems for users with a Sleep button that already works through HAL. IIRC upower does not expose button events, so powerdevil in KDE 4.6 will have to listen to evdev for power button events. In which case it'll get keyboard events for free, right?

Why has the bug by me (Bug 245463) been marked as duplicate of this? It was about the "change screen brightness" keys, and they did trigger some reaction (showing the current scren brightness), but did not change anything.
Because all of these bugs are about handling some special keys by the Power Management System, hence they are fixable in a single run (and I'm about to commit a patch for this)

I have an issue similar to (Bug 245463) in kde-4.6.0 on Gentoo. The Brightness Up/Down keys on my Samsung NC10 (Intel 945GME graphics) did not work at all prior to this release, but now both are detected correctly by KDED (as shown in System Settings > Global Keyboard Shortcuts) but only the "down" action has any effect (raising the OSD, changing the brightness), "up" does nothing. This is regardless of what shortcut is assigned to the function.

It could be, though it has some different symptoms: in bug #264534 increasing brightness does work from some initial values, whereas I haven't found such a case; and from the description I don't see why that bug would only affect increasing and not dimming. Nevertheless, I'll ask there and see what those who fixed it have to say. Thanks.
