How do I make the power button shut the laptop down without asking?

Question

The energy options screen, oddly, doesn't have an option for what to do when the power button is pressed!

Translating the three options:

• "Suspend when inactive for:" (it's set to not suspend)
• "When the lid is closed:" (it's set to suspend)
• "When (battery) power is extremely low:" (it's set to power off)

Where are the power button options? They appear when I run Fedora 14 in the same computer.

Answer 1

The options is not available in the UI anymore, but I found it to be still availble in gconf.

To attach an action with the power button, enter in a terminal:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power action_name

Where action_name is one of the following:

• suspend
• shutdown
• hibernate
• interactive (ask what to do)
