okay, I've got ... acpid is, by default, not in the default openrc run list [:blush:]
Solution: sudo rc-update add acpid On 11/13/19 07:48, n952162 wrote:
I've reinstalled gentoo from the gentoo repository and now my power button doesn't do a shutdown anymore. What do I have to do to have it 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 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 :-) ) 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!!!
