I've done some more digging and found what I think could be the reason I'm seeing this behavior.
I did an lshal -m then closed the lid waited a minute and opened it again. This is what came back: 14:56:06.058: computer property power_management.is_powersave_set = true 14:56:11.080: computer_logicaldev_input_2 property button.state.value = true 14:56:11.081: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = lid *** I OPENED THE LID *** 14:57:23.281: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property battery.remaining_time = 19027 (0x4a53) (new) 14:57:23.284: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property battery.charge_level.rate = 6149 (0x1805) 14:57:23.285: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property battery.reporting.rate = 6149 (0x1805) 14:57:23.285: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property battery.voltage.current = 12444 (0x309c) 14:57:23.286: computer_logicaldev_input_1 condition ButtonPressed = power 14:57:23.286: computer_logicaldev_input_2 property button.state.value = false 14:57:23.286: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = lid 14:57:23.423: usb_device_4f2_b036_SN0001_if0_video4linux removed 14:57:23.424: usb_device_4f2_b036_SN0001_if0_logicaldev_input removed 14:57:23.466: usb_device_4f2_b036_SN0001_if0_video4linux added 14:57:23.737: usb_device_4f2_b036_SN0001_if0_logicaldev_input added Here is another output from lshal this time I selected Suspend from the UserSwitcher menu. To resume I just pressed the spacebar. Here is what came back: ****** I PRESSED THE SPACEBAR ******** 15:27:22.200: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property battery.voltage.current = 12522 (0x30ea) 15:27:22.227: computer_logicaldev_input_1 condition ButtonPressed = power 15:27:22.227: usb_device_4f2_b036_SN0001_if0_video4linux removed 15:27:22.227: usb_device_4f2_b036_SN0001_if0_logicaldev_input removed 15:27:22.271: usb_device_4f2_b036_SN0001_if0_video4linux added 15:27:22.002: usb_device_4f2_b036_SN0001_if0_logicaldev_input added So I guess the question is: should there be a power button event when resuming? Is there a way I can ignore this event? -- Resuming from Suspend cause power button action to be called https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272587 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
