I installed Arch Linux on my new Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 16ARP8 laptop and I'm encountering an issue where pressing the power button doesn't trigger any events. I've tried to diagnose the problem using dmesg -w and evtest, but both methods show no recognition of the button being pressed.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Acpid# … _the_event - try acpi_listen

I tried the acpi_listen but still nothing. I also tried to boot live fedora and the power button didn't work there neither

Just to be sure: the power button principally works (a long push causes a hard shutdown/reboot)?
Does it generate events in other contexts (windows)?
Offline
Yes the button works for shutdown (long press),
Does it generate events in other contexts (windows)?: Don't know what you mean by that.

I mean whether a short button press does anything when running eg. windows (or in the UEFI etcetc) - ie: why do you expect it to generate an event?

The short press does nothing even when running windows. I expect it to generate an event, because there is a setting when power button pressed.

Where's that setting? KDE?
That's nice, but you effectively don't have such button (might be fixable w/ a BIOS update, see the links I posted)
You likely also have a setting for the calculator key, but if your keyboard has no calculator key, that's irrelevant to you.

Yes KDE.
Yeah it seems the short power button press is not supported by laptop. And my problem isn't that important to waste your time on it.
Anyway thanks for the support so far. <3
