Since my upgrade to 10.04 I am seeing the exact behavior as Tom describes above.
This line in /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh fails for me because "pidof kded4" is returning 2 PIDs (one is defunct, also new since upgrade): ( test "$XUSER" != "" && test -x /usr/bin/qdbus && test -r /proc/$(pidof kded4)/environ && su - $XUSER -c "eval $(echo -n 'export '; cat /proc/$(pidof kded4)/environ |tr '\0' '\n'|grep DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS); qdbus org.kde.kded" | grep -q powerdevil) ; then Which causes "/sbin/shutdown -h now "Power button pressed"" to be run. As Tom describes, changing powerbtn.sh to use the following works for me: PIDOFKDE4=`ps -efww|grep kded4|grep $XUSER|grep -v grep|grep -v defunct|tr -s ' '|awk '{print $2}'` -- kde power button configuration ignored https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553557 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
