Re: How can I disable the "Suspend" button on my keyboard?

However, to be 100% sure, Remus, if you could post the content of your logind.conf file here that would help.

Sure, here it is:

Thanks a lot once again for your continued help here!
I'll try xfce and see what it does there.

Re: How can I disable the "Suspend" button on my keyboard?

Thanks, all's well there.  That seems to conclusively rule out logind being the culprit.  So I'd second your conclusion of post #13 that this is a Gnome issue.  Unfortunately I'm completely unable to help gnome-specific stuff.

Re: How can I disable the "Suspend" button on my keyboard?

Just tried out logging in with an Xfce session instead of (normal) Gnome. There, the key didn't do anything – one point more for Gnome-specific, I guess. (I didn't change the display manager or anything else this time – just installed Xfce and then selected it in the session menu.)

You can disable suspend system-wide with polkit: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Po … _hibernate

I still don't know how to do it only for gnome or only for suspend button.

Thanks for sharing, though as this thread is 2 years old, the same assumptions might no longer apply.

Closing.

Reopened on remus' request.

Wow, thanks!
It's not exactly what I asked for, but since I don't want to use Suspend/Hibernate anyways, this is still a perfect solution for me!
So, thanks a lot!

And thanks, V1del, for re-opening!
