Public bug reported: I noticed that with Ubuntu Server 13.10 when I press the power button, it flashes "acpid exiting" on the console and then does an immediate hard poweroff. Filesystems are not umounted and require recovery on restart.
Upon further investigation I found that apparently both acpid and systemd-logind attempt to handle the event with the described result. Disabling either acpid (by deleting /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn) or systemd (by adding HandlePowerKey=ignore to /etc/systemd/logind.conf) fixes the issue. Note: I was reproducing the issue using clean 13.10 server installs in KVMs. http://superuser.com/questions/677331/unsafe-power-off-on-power- button-pressed/746841#746841 indicates that others have observed this with non-VM installs. Also #1219338 and #1245327 may be related. ** Affects: acpid (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313469 Title: Power button causes unclean shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpid/+bug/1313469/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
