My laptop has tablet mode. A lot of time I will accidentally push the power button in tablet mode, so I want to remap power button to hybrid-sleep button using acpi. Can some check weather I’m doing right?

Code: Select all

$sudo nano /etc/acpi/events/power
event=button/power
action=/etc/acpi/hybridsleepsys.sh

$sudo nano /etc/acpi/hybridsleepsys.sh
#!/bin/bash
loginctl hybrid-sleep

$sudo chmod u+x /etc/acpi/hybridsleepsys.sh

$sudo rc-service acpid restart

Are you using elogind or systemd?

I use elogind.

Code: Select all

$sudo nano /etc/acpi/events/power
event=button/power
action=/etc/acpi/hybridsleepsys.sh

$sudo nano /etc/acpi/hybridsleepsys.sh
#!/bin/bash
[ "$2" = "PTBN" ] && exec loginctl hybrid-sleep

$sudo chmod u+x /etc/acpi/hybridsleepsys.sh

$sudo rc-service acpid restart

I change to this, but after I push power button, it still shutdown the PC.

I think this is because elogind grabs the power button input and runs the shutdown command before your script can run.

Edit as root your /etc/elogind/logind.conf.
Find the line which sets HandlePowerKey.
Change the line to: HandlePowerKey=hybrid-sleep
Make sure that line is also uncommented (does not start with #).
Run as root
Code: Select all
```
rc-config restart elogind
```
!!! This will terminate your current session and take you back to login screen.

This way you don't need script to execute sleep commands. ;)

EDIT: fixed the filename from elogind.conf to logind.conf

Any idea what I am missing?

Oops! Indeed I wrote wrong filename. The correct one is: /etc/elogind/logind.conf
