I've reinstalled gentoo from the gentoo repository and now my power

issue a shutdown? This is an openrc system.
I have this, but it doesn't work:
$ cat /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn
event=button[ /]power.*
action=/sbin/poweroff
I don't have the above file, only /etc/acpi/events/default, which invokes '/
etc/acpi/default.sh' and that's all my systems need to shutdown gracefully
when I press the power button.
NOTE: I only press the power button momentarily. If I press and keep pressed
the power button for a few seconds, then the system powers off instantly
without a graceful shutdown (a.k.a. I then will get a hard shutdown with no
disk syncing or flushing of caches).
On a different gentoo system I have, I have just the one line, the
action line, in that file and the power-button works fine (whether
there's causation there or not, I have no idea :-) )
Judging from my systems I don't think the file you are using is necessary,
unless this is supposed to be a fix for some MoBos which do not work as
expected.
I generally do /not/ press the power button while in my window manager,
but first when I've logged off. Since that wasn't working, I tried
inside my window manager ... I got a just a couple of lines that looked
like they came from shutdown(), but too few (couldn't read them).
Then, on startup, the filesystems needed fscking!!!
Does the same thing happen if you run '/sbin/shutdown -h now' ?
Hi,
have you installed elogind? - for me it took over and replaced the
acpi functions by intercepting the call beforehand. It also hijacks
suspend hibernate.
A couple of weks back it "broke" and is is recording the power button is
pressed but doesnt take the actions required by its config file.
"loginctl suspend" works ... sort of ...
