Checking acpi key bindings and remapping keyboard keypress events to acpi events
I got two systems with Ubuntu 18.04.1 installed. The two have similar hardware and software configurations but one of them suspends to SBTN press event whereas the other does nothing. I checked gsettings and both have similar org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power configurations. I want to know the complete key bindings associated with SBTN key event.
How and where can I check for these?
Also, how can I remap a keyboard keypress event(say keycode 127 which is pause/break button) to SBTN button/PWBN button?
How can I map system suspend action to keyboard pause/break button?
PS: I'm using acpi_listen for listening to PWBN and SBTN key events and I'm able to see the key presses. For checking for keyboard events I'm using xinput test. Also, I need to get the system back live using the same keypress after suspend action.

First, check if you have acpi service running on the other machine, with sudo systemctl status acpid or sudo service acpid status
If you do, test systemctl suspend on the other machine that does not respond to the sleep/suspend button press and see if any errors or warnings get printed.
As far as setting a custom keybinding to Pause/Break key, I would try to bind it to a script that executes systemctl suspend command , as trying to remap sleep/suspend button will require clearing the previous binding for the built-in sleep/suspend key if there is one, if I recall correctly. In other words, make a script suspendme.sh.
touch suspendme.sh
nano suspendme.sh
inside the suspendme.sh script:
#!/bin/bash
systemctl suspend
chown u+x suspendme.sh
mv suspendme.sh /usr/local/bin/
And then you can just use "System Settings" > "Keyboard" > "Shortcuts" > "Custom Shortcuts" in both Gnome and Unity to set the shortcut. Just click on + and for the command to execute with the Pause key use suspendme.sh as it is in /usr/local/bin and will be part of the path.

How does the system wakeup? Will it search for script again when I press the sleep button when its in suspended state? I’m asking this since currently the system doesn’t respond to normal keyboard key button presses when suspended. It’s the bug I’m actually looking to circumvent.

checkgrep . /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/wakeupand change the listen to wake up withecho enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/wakeupchange usb1 to the the path of your keyboard.

Once you find the correct usb path of your keyboard and successfully test it, make sure you make it permanent, by pasting theecho enabled > [sys bus path to keyboard]into /etc/rc.local. You will likely need to sudo, sosudo nano /etc/rc.localand paste it there.
