Mageia forum

After last update stop work option "Power Management"->"Energy Saving"->Button events handling"->"When power button pressed".
Always run "Shut down" even if "Sleep" option is selected or "Turn off screen" (maybe others too). Someone know what heppend or how fix this?

Hi there, some more information would be appreciated.
This is with Mageia 9 and plasma/KDE ? Also, did you reboot or at least logout/login after the last update ?

Mga9/plasma/kde on dell latitude 5530. Of course computer was turned off/restarted.

Previously, when you pressed the power key, a message appeared with a choice of various options: sleeping, rebooting etc. After several updates on Sunday, regardless of the selected option, when i press the power key, computer turns off. I dont know what happened. Have others experienced a similar problem?
Temporarily i assign another key to enter in sleep mode.

Well relevant recent updates were only for systemd & kernel.

For systemd there might have been some changes regarding the inhibitors, see e.g. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/sy ... hibit.html
Also post the output of

Code: Select all

systemd-inhibit --list

For plasma powerdevil should inhibit the power button:

You may also want to check /etc/systemd/logind.conf as the default is HandlePowerKey=poweroff

After run command

Code: Select all

systemd-inhibit --list

i not see PowerDevil

3 inhibitors listed.

Maybe this is the reason why the plasma applet "Button events handling" doesnt work.

This option is mark as comment by default. If I activate it, the suspend function assignment actually works. But this is not the best solution.

Please post the output as root of

journalctl -ab | grep -i powerdevil

after run

Code: Select all

journalctl -ab | grep -i powerdevil

i see many positions with "failed" word

Please undo any changes to /etc/systemd/logind.conf and then reboot, and post the same output again.

Also, what display manager do you use, sddm ?
And if the problem still persists, what happens if you boot one of the older kernels, still the same issue ?

original and current file /etc/systemd/logind.conf looks like this

Also, what display manager do you use, sddm ?

yes sddm

not have old kernels but updates from sunday did not concern the kernel

I'm facing the same problem but using Mageia 9/Gnome.

Using a previous kernel changed nothing in my case. However, `systemctl suspend` does work. It seems that the power button is not triggering the suspended mode and always powering down the PC.

My /etc/systemd/logind.conf file has all the options commented out.


[EDIT] After setting

Code: Select all

HandlePowerKey=suspend

in /etc/systemd/logind.conf it started to work again. Thanks for the help.

You're facing the same problem since the last updates and it worked previously ?

Exactly.

Do you also have the same message in your logs ?

Code: Select all

org.kde.powerdevil: failed to inhibit systemd powersave handling

No, but since I'm using Gnome, I guess it is expected.

After the last update (probably systemd) the power button handling was fixed.
