Public bug reported: Binary package hint: acpid
When the power button on the laptop is pressed, the notebook running Kubuntu Jaunty (alpha 3) shuts down immediately. I think that pressing that button, a logout/reboot/shutdown dialog should appear. Or at least It shold be configurable. Why (because I know from earlier similar bugreports, that some users want/like the contrary): * It was like that in Kubuntu releases before Intrepid (I mean before KDE4 arrived) * If I remember correctle , it is the same in Opensuse (not a real argument, I know) * The power button is on notebooks next to the other special buttons (email button, wifi on/off button) , so a random press can occur * As some developer stated in other ancient bugreport, "All actions, that can make some data loss, should be approved by user" The problem is in the file '/etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh'. The code testing if a kde session is running is written for the KDE3 and do not apply anymore to KDE4. Current code (line 20): if ps -Af | grep -q '[k]desktop' && pidof dcopserver > /dev/null && test -x /usr/bin/dcop ; then Workaround (calling it workaround, because it is a quick fix, maybe not yet in an acceptable shape yet) : if ps -Af | grep -q 'startkde' > /dev/null && test -x /usr/bin/dcop ; then With this changed line, the shutdown/reboot/logout dialog appears as desired. This bug is also present in Intrepid, but I hope at least for Jaunty to be fixed.
