KDE (Plasma 5) issues after recent update.

I recently updated Plasma 5 and I'm having a few issues I wonder if anyone else has come across.  This is in an Arch Linux install on a Toshiba Laptop, Intel graphics.

(1) The laptop screen randomly dims and brightens, and I can't seem to figure out at all what is triggering it.  I have a second screen attached to this laptop via it's HDMI port, and it is not experiencing the problem.

(2) Upon seeing this issue, I wanted to check my Display Brightness and Power Management stuff, and on the applet [in the system tray] there's a red X on the battery, and when mousing over I see "No Batteries Available"

Still scouring the net for clues, but wanted to get a post in here in case I'm not the only one seeing this.

Re: KDE (Plasma 5) issues after recent update.

I had the same problem and many others. Many of the things in the system applet wouldn't even work on my machine, like the magnifier near the mouse which I use heavily for reading. Instead of it magnifying near the mouse it magnifies the entire desktop and moving the mouse scrolls the entire desktop.
What a disaster KDE 5 is.

Glad I DD my hard drive first before trying out this disaster because I'm going back to KDE 4 until KDE 5 is a fully functioning desktop again.

Good luck.

Oh and by the way I have a Toshiba also model C55t-A5102

@jakebpg
go write your diarrhea somewhere else i have better things todo then check a thread because someone wanted to whine... people like you are a disaster
@mods btw this is at least the 2nd thread were he just flamed like this.

@t0ken
Does "upower --dump" show your battery? And try a new user maybe it is some strange config bug.
I have no idea for the brightness sry

and please post the output of "solid-hardware5 list"
