Shutdown configuration of power button won't work

[truc]

This bug was observed on following combinations hardware / System:

Hardware: Amilo Pa 1538 (AMD Turion 64, X2 Mobile technology TL-50)
1 GB RAM
Graphic card: Nvidia G72M (Geforce Go 7400)
System: Lubuntu 14.04 Desktop i386

Same hardware
System: Lubuntu 14.04 Desktop AMD64

Hardware: Toshiba Satellite L10 190
Intel Pentium M 1,60 GHz
Intel integrated graphic device
System: Lubuntu 14.04 i386 installed with forcepae

Fresh install + install of new upgrades (official repositories)
Package version: 1.2.0-3ubuntu4

If configuration:
Preferences -> Power manager -> General -> When power button is pressed: "shutdown" (default = "ask")
is made, I expect the computer to shutdown without asking when pressing the power button.
Instead, the window asking for the action keeps showing on pressing the power button (even after restart).

Used workaroud: in /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh, delete all but the last line:
/sbin/shutdown -h now "Power button pressed"

Does the window still pop up after killing xfce4-power-manager? I suspect that it is triggered by lxsession instead.

[Josep Pujadas-Jubany (jpujades)]

About 400 netbooks running with 14.04 at my school. Some models have this problem:

* Toshiba nb200 (attached nb200_lspci.txt)

[Josep Pujadas-Jubany (jpujades)]

* Asus 1015CX-BLK010U (attached 1015cx_lspci.txt)

[Josep Pujadas-Jubany (jpujades)]

* Acer Aspire V5-122P

Withc this model Power Button Menu works but it takes about 1 minute to appear !

Tried with 32 bit and 64 bit.

Attached v5_lspci.txt

[Josep Pujadas-Jubany (jpujades)]

I can't try:

Used workaroud: in /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh, delete all but the last line:
/sbin/shutdown -h now "Power button pressed"

This file doesn't exist in my system!

In fact, I don't have the /etc/apci folder!

[Josep Pujadas-Jubany (jpujades)]

* Toshiba nb200 updated today and now it works!!!

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
reboot

[Josep Pujadas-Jubany (jpujades)]

sudo reboot

Of course...

[truc (massicotb)]

The bug still affects my system.

System up to date (official repositories).

After reactivating the original /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh and killing xfce4-power-manager, the system will shutdown without asking upon pressing the power button, whatever I set up in Preferences -> Power manager -> General -> When power button is pressed.

Package: xfce4-power-manager 1.2.0-3ubuntu4.1

[Josep Pujadas-Jubany (jpujades)]

I'm using Lubuntu 14.04 and I don't have powerbtn.sh

In fact, I don't have /etc/apci directory.

???

Did you install any extra-tools for power management?

Did you install other desktops than LXDE?

This other bug seems to be related, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd-shim/+bug/1201180

[Josep Pujadas-Jubany (jpujades)]

http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/i386/acpid/filelist

powerbtn.sh belongs to acpid package.

Did you install this package. Why? I don't have it.

[Josep Pujadas-Jubany (jpujades)]

ACPID is still needed?

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155761

[Josep Pujadas-Jubany (jpujades)]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/acpid

Note: Desktop environments, such as GNOME, systemd login manager and some extra key handling daemons may implement own event handling schemes, independent of acpid. Running more than one system at the same time may lead to unexpected behaviour, such as suspending two times in a row after one sleep button press. You should be aware of this and only activate desirable handlers.

i can agree with Josep. no /etc/apci

"/acpi", not "/apci"

Lubuntu is the single OS on my Computer, no other desktop than LXDE. Fresh install on a formated hard drive. The package acpid was automatically installed during the installation out of the lubuntu-CD.

I can't tell why you don't have the directory.

[Josep Pujadas-Jubany (jpujades)]

I used 14.04.1 for my installs.

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04.1/release/

Perhaps this it makes the difference. My installations don't have acpid package.

I can't find anything about it acpid package at release notes:

[Thaddaeus Tintenfisch (thad-fisch-deactivatedaccount)]

What does "xfce4-power-manager --debug" return when you press the power button?

[truc (massicotb)]

Debugging is not possible.
"xfce4-power-manager --debug"
returns
"Xfce Power Manager: Another power manager is already running"
and switches to a new command line.
No record upon pressing power button.

[Thaddaeus Tintenfisch (thad-fisch-deactivatedaccount)]

Please try "killall xfce4-power-manager; xfce4-power-manager --debug" then.

[truc (massicotb)]

"killall xfce4-power-manager; xfce4-power-manager --debug"
gives the attached output.
Nothing happens upon pressing the power button.

[Thaddaeus Tintenfisch (thad-fisch-deactivatedaccount)]

According to your bug description, the window asking for the action should pop up. Was this not the case?

[Josep Pujadas-Jubany (jpujades)]

Toshiba nb250 (14.04.1 32 bit) doesn't show power off menu.

[Thaddaeus Tintenfisch (thad-fisch-deactivatedaccount)]

Lubuntu 14.04 [1] maps the power button as follows:

   <!-- Launch logout when push on the shutdown button -->
    <keybind key="XF86PowerOff">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>lxsession-default quit</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>

This configuration may interfere with xfce4-power-manager. Also, the power manager is probably not able to call and display the Xfce logout dialog without an active Xfce session.

[Luis Arturo Pina III (webprenuer)]

I too can't shutdown by the power button, don't have that file or folder, with Lubuntu 15.04.
I ran:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
reboot
xfce4-power-manager --debug

with no results. The debuger ran tthrough a day & night and just keeps going, so I terminated the process.

[Jan Kronborg (magic75)]

I can confirm thad-fisch suspicion in #24.
Commenting out that section in lubuntu-rc.xml allows xfce4-power-manager settings to control the power button behaviour on my lubuntu 14.04 system.

[Karl Nikolai Jamoralin (karljamoralin)]

I've also experienced this problem. #24 solved it for me. Perhaps the fix is to not include that <keybind> in lubuntu-rc.xml by default since it seems to override whatever settings you have in xfce4-power-manager.

[Chris Guiver (guiverc)]

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) reached end-of-life on April 25, 2019.
(Lubuntu 14.04 reached EOL before then being a flavor)

See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested in discussing it any more. But if you are then please upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version and re-test.

If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to Confirmed.
