Hey
Currently, when I push the power button on the front of the PC nothing happens if XMBC is open. If I manually close XBMC, the power switch shutsdown the PC. Ideally, the same would happen from within XBMC - how can I make this happen?
Cheers

I have the same problem, running Ubuntu 9.10 and XBMC 9.11. The shutdown functions in XBMC work as does the power button if XBMC is not running.
Anything I could do to get this working? Happy to provide further information (which?), if this should be a bug.
Thanks, Hammi

Me too.
Previous versions didn't have this "problem". I haven't updated in a while so I can't pinpoint when it happened.
I have my power button wired through my remote, so I really like being able to shut the whole system down with a single button press.
If there's a simple fix, just let me know.
Thanks,
Dan

It follows the "shutdown function" setting in system > power saving

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that's the part which is not working:
If I call the shutdown function from the "end" menu (through the "virtual power button on the main screen), the machine shuts down (and does different things, if I change the system -> power saving setting). That's ok.
If I press the power button on my PC case while XBMC is running, nothing happens. Outside of XBMC, the power button on my PC case is working just fine.

Same here.
It used to work with Ubuntu 9.04 and the SVN Versions of XBMC. Ever since I updated to Ubuntu 9.10 and XBMC 9.11 (also the alpha, beta and RC) the "Shutdown Button" has no effect. But only while XBMC is running. Otherwise the button works perfectly.
btw: The "shutdown function" setting in system is already set to "shutdown"

This has just started happening on my final version as well. Shutdown/Sleep via menu or power button brings everything down then it immediately wakes back up. It worked fine under RC1.

Update: I tried booting into the 'xbmc' session, and the power button (on the front of the computer) works as expected. If logged in to the 'gnome' session, and running xbmc as a standalone program the power button does nothing while xbmc is in the foreground.
XBMC hijacks the power button.
This is with XBMC 9.11 r26018

Actually when I said Foreground, it turns out I meant Fullscreen. When windowed, the power button still works.
Log shows no difference.

It's not only with the power button i got almost the same issue with my DVD player in the Asrock 330HT. When i press the DVD player button it opens the slide correctly but after i played a DVD in XBMC and want to get the DVD out by pressing the DVD player button again, nothing happens.
