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.
Have a nice day, bq
