Subject: [gentoo-user] power button to shutdown for openrc?
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 07:01:30

1 I've reinstalled gentoo from the gentoo repository and now my power
2 button doesn't do a shutdown anymore.  What do I have to do to have it
3 issue a shutdown?  This is an openrc system.
4
5 I have this, but it doesn't work:
6
7 $ cat  /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn
8 event=button[ /]power.*
9 action=/sbin/poweroff
10
11 On a different gentoo system I have, I have just the one line, the
12 action line, in that file and the power-button works fine (whether
13 there's causation there or not, I have no idea :-) )
14
15 I generally do /not/ press the power button while in my window manager,
16 but first when I've logged off.  Since that wasn't working, I tried
17 inside my window manager ... I got a just a couple of lines that looked
18 like they came from shutdown(), but too few (couldn't read them).
19
20 Then, on startup, the filesystems needed fscking!!!
