I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.10. When I press my power button, my computer immediately shuts down. In Ubuntu 13.04 I got a nice menu, where I could choose what to do. It is gone now and I want it back. Here is my /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh
in pastebin.
I already did
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-WORD 'interactive'
where WORD
is hibernate
, power
, sleep
and suspend
.

Check your
/etc/systemd/logind.conf
file. It should look like this:Uncomment the line that says
#HandlePowerKey=poweroff
and change the value toignore
.Then restart the logind with the command:
sudo restart systemd-logind
or reboot your computer.EDIT: how to create a new acpi handler Create a new file in
/etc/acpi/events/
. The content of the file should be:where
<acpi_event_code>
is the code you get using theacpi_listen
tool and<script_to_call>
is the full path to the script you wish to call when that event happens.They must have changed something in 13.10 because it seems that I have too few files in my /etc/accpi/events folder compared to the 13.04.
