Re: is powerd supposed to work any more?

Ahhh... let me recant that.  I think that error came from me commenting out the shutdown command in the powerd button script, when I put the shutdown command back the laptop actually shutdown on a power button press but there is no indication that the lid switch event is happening.  I will try some more debug to see what I can find.

That is good to know... it doesn't seem to work for me, when I press the
power button I get:

[ 1647.780628] ACPI Error: No installed handler for fixed event - PowerButton (2), disabling (20180810/evevent-330)

Also, the thing that started me off on this was I don't get lid switch
events which is what I am really after. I want to script a few things
when the lid opens but the script is not firing. I do have:

[ 1.160133] acpilid0 at acpi0 (LID, PNP0C0D): ACPI Lid Switch

in dmesg so it looks like the kernel knows about the lid switch, just
seems like no events are delivered.
