[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#633875: xfce4-power-manager: power button not detected

[Art Ortenburger]

Package: xfce4-power-manager
Version: 1.0.10-4
Severity: normal

xfce4-power-manager does not respond to the hardware power button being
pressed, whether set to Shutdown or Ask.  gnome-power-manager can detect it and
initiate a shutdown, as can only upowerd without either power manager, so the
problem isn't hardware or drivers. (The GNOME and KDE power-button settings
seem buggy as well.)

When reproducing the problem, xfce4-power-manager is running in the background,
having been automatically launched at login, and the Xfce4 Power Manager
settings have the Power Button action set to "Shutdown".
When the power button is pressed, no action results.


The motherboard is an Asus P8P67 Deluxe (rev.3). Below is a transcript of

That was for four power button presses. I tested both the case power button and
the power button on the motherboard.

The other power button reported, /dev/input/event4, does not receive any
presses, although its information is the same:
Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x19 vendor 0x0 product 0x1 version 0x0
Input device name: "Power Button"
Supported events:
  Event type 0 (Sync)
  Event type 1 (Key)
    Event code 116 (Power)
