Rebinding power button? [SOLVED] Oct 18, 2022 8:44:56 GMT

Firstly, Bodhi Linux has made my old Acer C720 Chromebook incredibly useful, running Chromium, Sublime Text, QCADd etc. So a big thank you

The power button is located right next to the backspace key, and if I so much as brush against it, the whole laptop powers down.

I have tried using `Settings > Key Bindings` and `Settings > ACPI Bindings` to set the power button to Suspend but it just keeps on powering off. Any ideas on how I could fix it? I don't mind editing config files by hand if need be.

Thank you! Jake

OK, this was the solution if my memory serves me:

Check your /etc/systemd/logind.conf file. It should look like this:

[Login]
#NAutoVTs=6
#ReserveVT=6
#KillUserProcesses=no
#KillOnlyUsers=
#KillExcludeUsers=root
#Controllers=
#ResetControllers=cpu
#InhibitDelayMaxSec=5
#HandlePowerKey=poweroff
#HandleSuspendKey=suspend
#HandleHibernateKey=hibernate
#HandleLidSwitch=suspend
#PowerKeyIgnoreInhibited=no
#SuspendKeyIgnoreInhibited=no
#HibernateKeyIgnoreInhibited=no
#LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes
#IdleAction=ignore
#IdleActionSec=30min

Uncomment the line that says #HandlePowerKey=poweroff and change the value to ignore.

Reboot your computer.
