There are weird NUL characters here?!

On my Ubuntu laptop (this is why I use Ubuntu, BTW: almost everything
works out of the box with no headachey configuration required, usually)
/etc/acpi/events/sleepbtn has

  event=3Dbutton[ /]sleep
  action=3D/etc/acpi/sleep.sh

without the "SBNT 0000..." bit at the end.

Rebooting should not be required.  Maybe an /etc/init.d/acpid restart,
at most.

Drop the ^@ gunk, it's what prevents your acpi config from working.
I've no idea why acpi_listen prints it; this smells like a bug to me.

Is /usr/sbin in your PATH?

UEFI stands for "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface", where "Firmware" i=
s an
ancient African word meaning "Why do something right when you can do it so
wrong that children will weep and brave adults will cower before you", and
"UEI" is Celtic for "We missed DOS so we burned it into your ROMs".
