[Solved] KDE package for powerdevil?

My basic problem is that the kde auto sleep/suspend isn't working as configured in System Settings -> Power Management. Suspend is working via pressing the power button on my machine as configured in the same screen. Reading through the help docs, it mentions that auto suspend has something to do with 'Powerdevil', which needs to be enabled in the kde Service Manager.

I believe I'm just missing an installed package. I have arch and kde installed an another machine where rather than building up kde from a base install, I chose to install kde-meta and installed everything. On the second machine it works fine. Can someone tell me if there is a package I need to install to get 'powerdevil' working, or am I going down the wrong path?

Re: [Solved] KDE package for powerdevil?

powerdevil is a part of the package kdebase-workspace.
Execute this command to see if there are any files missing fro a package. If there is no ouput everything should be fine.

 sudo pacman -Qk | grep -v '[^0-9]0\s'

Re: [Solved] KDE package for powerdevil?

Thanks, I jumped the gun and installed that package before I ran pacman -Qk so I was curious if kdebase-workspace wasn't installed previously or if there were missing files from the package. But I did just check /var/log/pacman.log and it confirms that kdebase-workspace was installed along with kde-meta, and was upgraded at some point. Weird. Works now though. Thanks.
