Package: acpid
Version: 1.0.4-5
Severity: normal
Hello,
thanks for packaging acpid!
In my system (ASUS M2000 laptop), after resuming from a suspend I get a
powerbutton event (probably intending to mean that the power has been
switched on). However, that calls powerbtn.sh which shuts down the
machine right away.
I solved this by changing powerbtn.sh this (very crude) way:
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh
# Initiates a shutdown when the power putton has been
# pressed.
logger "Power button has been pressed"
exit 0
if ps -Af | grep -q '[k]desktop' && test -f /usr/bin/dcop
then
dcop --all-sessions --all-users ksmserver ksmserver logout 0 2 0 && exit 0
else
/sbin/shutdown -h now "Power button pressed"
fi
Another technique I've heard from another person with the same problem
(Georg Greve, IIRC) is to touch a file on unsuspend and check its age in
powerbtn.sh. Matthew Garrett told me that that requires extra care, as
a file in /tmp can be created and continuously touched by any user and
that would allow unauthorised people to prevent the machine for shutting
down.
Matthew will probably followup with more insight.
Ciao,
Enrico
