Bug Description
Hello,
i use my machine as a print server and discovered the following since 11.10: If i am not logged in (e.g. started the machine just for printing from a network client), the power button won't shut down the system when pressed. I have to log into gnome or issue poweroff via tty/ssh. I know this worked in previous versions of ubuntu, and maybe i found a clue.
In /etc/acpi/
I could work-around this by replacing gnome-settings-
Greetings
Roger John
PS: I reckon that pressing the power button while on tty with a running X session, the system should not shut down at once. But it could kill the tty and switch to the x session, for example, or do something informative.
