Power button - weird behavior
Hello,
I've been having an issue with my Dell XPS 13 recently. Sometimes, when I press the power button, it doesn't show me the options on the screen (power off, restart, suspend), but instead proceeds to shut down right away. At first I thought I had accidentally held the button pressed for too long, but then I started touching it very lightly and it still occurs. Not always though, I'm still trying to figure out the patterns.
It's very annoying, because I often have many application open and only want to suspend the computer. Does anyone know where this might be coming from?
Thanks!

Hi, I'm running Gnome 14.04 with kernel 3.19.0-31-generic. Thanks for any tips on how to deal with this!

Try the Suspend button Gnome extension, it's quite useful.

Okay, so not Unity. It's been a while since I've used GNOME on Ubuntu, but with systems running systemd, there've been issues here and there with userspace not working correctly with systemd such that systemd grabs the power button press and uses the shutdown action.
