hardware power button: nothing happens, does not show power options

[afiestas]

I can look into this! Will do next week.

[star-buck]

assigned, thanks!

[star-buck]

still not working as of kci 20150109 any update on this?

[star-buck]

not working on kci20150116, any update?

[star-buck]

@sebasje : will you fix this or someone else should be assigned?

[sebasje]

This works for me on kci20150116.

While I don't think it could be a hardware thing (the powerbutton handling is I think pretty standard), what hardware are you testing it on? (Lenovo 540M here).

Could you run "xev" in a console, wait a bit until all events have been printed, and then hit the powerbutton? What does this return?

[star-buck]

xev shows nothing when pressing power button. so this still doesnt work here in kci20150123.

[sebasje]

What hardware is that? Is this the live cd or an installed system?

xev does know that button here, so it looks like either an ACPI problem, or a problem with the Xorg setup, perhaps keyboard.

[mgraesslin]

if xev doesn't show en event it quite certainly meanst that the button isn't supported by the operating system. Does it work on other distributions (e.g. different kernel version)?

[star-buck]

@sebas: acer spire, asus pc both not working, i could test more, but it surely was working on those two with all previous kde4.x versions.

Found it.

Commit a34affeb in powerdevil by Alex replaces

HandleButtonEvents::isSupported() from checking if we have any hardware buttons to checking if we have a lid.

If you're on a desktop this completely is not even remotely close to the same thing.

Patch incoming.

the great thing: it works, so power button invokes a reaction! Now still a popup wants me to confirm logout or shutdown (whatever is set as preferred option under "Startip & Shutdown"), where in kde4.x i was able to simply shut it down immediately. Any way to shut down right away without the 30 seconds confirmation dialog?

[davidedmundson]

systemsettings -> power management -> button event handling select -> when power button pressed: select shutdown

This was is in the 5.2 branch, but not in 5.2.0

It's in the kubuntu-CI packaging, but I don't know if it's in netrunner yet. commit a17b7791c9f98d76da35b81649650cc8a20974fd if you're cherry-picking things
