[Solved] gnome 3.16 power button interactive setting does nothing

After system upgrade, gnome 3.16 does nothing when power button pressed if set to 'interactive'.  I have looked at the setting with gnome tweak and also with gsettings which confirms it is set to interactive.  Setting this to shutdown works as expected.  Sorry if I have not posted this in the correct place.

Re: [Solved] gnome 3.16 power button interactive setting does nothing

I'm having the same issue on a clean install. When power button was set to suspend, it worked, but I cannot get interactive power off to work. I verified that the ACPI event is coming through and is making it into the systemd journal,  but Gnome does not seem to be responding to it.

As a workaround, you can use a keyboard shortcut to show the interactive power dialog. Just open Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> System and set the "Log out" shortcut to whatever you wish or use the default Ctrl+Alt+Delete. I mapped mine to Ctrl+PowerOff because I am using Ctrl+Alt+Delete to show the interactive logout dialog from a custom shortcut.

Thanks for letting me know.  Its working for me too now so I'll mark it as solved.  I never noticed as I was just using ctrl-alt-del and forgot to try it again.  Cheers
