Package: systemd Version: 215-5+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, despite I have a script listening to events from acpid, which I use to decide which actions to take when ACPI events occur, my system was just going off whenever I would press the power button.
It appears that the culprit is systemd. According to the manpage, the default values for this file /etc/systemd/logind.conf are set so that systemd will shutdown the system in case the power button is pressed. Once upon a time, this was done by acpid, which would first check if there were sessions open, and then decide what to do. If you think that systemd should take over and replace acpid, it should: behave in the same way, by default, and provide a unix socket that lists the events, for backwards compatibility. In any case, I think that the default values in that file are not sane, because for example, if I tried to configure KDE to do something when the power button is pressed, systemd would still shutdown the system. Best, and thanks for your work! -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.4a (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii acl 2.2.52-2 ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-53.4 ii libacl1 2.2.52-2 ii libaudit1 1:2.4-1 ii libblkid1 2.25.1-4 ii libc6 2.19-11 ii libcap2 1:2.24-6 ii libcap2-bin 1:2.24-6 ii libcryptsetup4 2:1.6.6-2 ii libgcrypt20 1.6.2-4 ii libkmod2 18-3 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii libselinux1 2.3-2 ii libsystemd0 215-5+b1 ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-53.4 ii udev 215-5+b1 ii util-linux 2.25.1-4 Versions of packages systemd recommends: ii dbus 1.8.8-2 ii libpam-systemd 215-5+b1 Versions of packages systemd suggests: pn systemd-ui <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/systemd/logind.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
