org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power ignores shutdown
Last modified: 2013-10-19 22:04:15 UTC
The problem defined (pasted) below was first reported to Launchpad for Elementary OS. I was asked to enter it here because it is considered an upstream bug. System Settings - Power is set to "Shutdown" for "When the power button is pressed:". It should go through a automatic shut down process with out any additional response from me. However it brings up a dialog box asking me what I want to do. That should be the response when the option is set to: "Ask me". As it is now they both act the same.

Based on previous versions I have used over the last 4 years. I have always set my session to perform an automatic shutdown with the push of the power off button, in case I get in a situation where the system fails to respond to the mouse/keyboard. Under these situations I could at least perform a graceful shutdown rather then a forced power off (holding the power off button for an extended period). The current version of Shutdown requires I force the power off if my system stops responding to the mouse/keyboard. As it is now there is no difference between this setting (Shutdown) and Ask Me (Interactive). Why have these two different option when they act the same?
