Comment 0 for bug 1899824

Consider the 3 following scripts :

1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#!/bin/python3

from gpiozero import Button
import time
import os

stopButton = Button (17)

while True:
     if stopButton.is_pressed:
         os.system ("sudo shutdown now -h")
     time.sleep (1)
exit (1)
2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#!/bin/python3

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import os
import time
from threading import Thread

GPIO.setwarnings (False)
GPIO.setmode (GPIO.BCM)
shutdown_pin = 26
GPIO.setup (shutdown_pin, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

def shutdown_check():
        while True:
                pulsetime = 1
                GPIO.wait_for_edge (shutdown_pin, GPIO.FALLING)
                print ("falling detected")
                time.sleep (0.01)
                while GPIO.input (shutdown_pin) == GPIO.LOW:
                        time.sleep (0.01)
                        pulsetime += 1
                if pulsetime >=2 and pulsetime <=3:
                        os.system ("sudo reboot")
                elif pulsetime >=4 and pulsetime <=5:
                        os.system ("sudo shutdown now -h")
try:
        t1 = Thread (target = shutdown_check)
        t1.start ()
except:
        t1.stop ()
        GPIO.cleanup ()
        exit (0)
3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#!/bin/python3

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import os

GPIO.setmode (GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup (17, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down = GPIO.PUD_UP)

def Shutdown (channel):
    print ("Shutting down...")
    os.system ("echo $(date) >> shutdown.log")
    time.sleep (3)
    os.system ("sudo shutdown now -h")
    exit (0)

GPIO.add_event_detect (17, GPIO.FALLING, callback = Shutdown, bouncetime=2000)

while 1:
    time.sleep (1)
exit (1)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The above scripts are common shutdown scripts that can be found on the web, utilizing an NO pushbutton connected to GPIO 26 and ground (physical 37). None of the above scripts work though, since a falling edge is never detected. My setup has been tested and actually, the 1st script was working properly on Raspberry Pi OS a few weeks ago (before switching to Ubuntu). gpiozero uses rpi.gpio as the pin factory. A different pin was tested too.
