Re: kde power management system keeps crashing

Downgrade back to ddcutil-2.0.0-1 for the meantime

Re: kde power management system keeps crashing

Had the same problem here.  Downgrading ddcutil as suggested fixes the issue here.

Re: kde power management system keeps crashing

Thank you, guys. I will still keep this not solved since the package maintainers did not get the package fixed.

Re: kde power management system keeps crashing

For those looking for the command to downgrade:

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/d/ddcutil/ddcutil-2.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

----

The next step is for someone to alert the package maintainer of the issue, by flagging the ddcutil package as broken.

[I just requested a user on GitLab to do so. But if someone else beats me to it: that wouldn't be a bad thing.]

I believe https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … e3b119eedc is more relevant, although on my system this fix doesn't seem to have done anything. I think it would be correct to report the issue there rather than the ddcutil package; that or wait for the upstream powerdevil fix to be backported.

Re: kde power management system keeps crashing

For people who still have problems after David Edmundson's patch to ignore invalid displays (https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … e3b119eedc), please help out with debugging if you can. I left some instructions in the KDE bug tracker (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476375#c60) for how to set custom ddcutil options for use by KDE's PowerDevil service.

You could for instance try out the ddcutil option `--disable-dynamic-sleep` to see if that makes a difference (I believe it's new for 2.0), or `--discard-caches all`, or dive deep with tracing and collaborate with the ddcutil maintainer on a crash fix (given that the crash is happening inside of libddcutil).

Have you tried downgrading gtk3?  https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … ote_157575

I don't think gtk3 is at fault here. From testing on my desktop and laptop, it seems that this is only affecting my desktop (I am assuming because my laptop's display has different capabilities).

Running the same packages on both my laptop and desktop, here is a backtrace on my desktop:

Ironically enough, the issue is fixed with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevi … b71f521d30 but is not fixed with powerdevil 5.27.10-2 with the fix from https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … e3b119eedc

That fix you linked is for a different issue.

Re: kde power management system keeps crashing

I think there's a bit of confusion here with a different bug, but for me ddcutil 2.1.0-2 seems to have fixed the OP issue.

EDIT: Thanks arojas!

Re: kde power management system keeps crashing

Can confirm, upgrading to 2.1.0-2 fixed my issue as well.

Re: kde power management system keeps crashing

Still crashing every 3 seconds  with ddcutil 2.1.0-3 installed.

Re: kde power management system keeps crashing

That can be fixed by increasing the service timeout, create $HOME/.config/systemd/user/plasma-powerdevil.service.d/override.conf

[Service]
TimeoutSec=15sec

or so

Re: kde power management system keeps crashing

2.1.0-2 fixed my issue, then 2.1.0-3 broke it again. -_-

Re: kde power management system keeps crashing

If 2.1.0-3 is broken, then it's a different issue. please get a full backtrace and report it upstream

Re: kde power management system keeps crashing

For people who still have problems after David Edmundson's patch to ignore invalid displays (https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … e3b119eedc), please help out with debugging if you can. I left some instructions in the KDE bug tracker (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476375#c60) for how to set custom ddcutil options for use by KDE's PowerDevil service.

You could for instance try out the ddcutil option `--disable-dynamic-sleep` to see if that makes a difference (I believe it's new for 2.0), or `--discard-caches all`, or dive deep with tracing and collaborate with the ddcutil maintainer on a crash fix (given that the crash is happening inside of libddcutil).

David Edmundson's patch didn't fix the issue on my machine.
I applied https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevi … 71a7aac0ec to powerdevil-5.27.10-2, compiled it, enabled trace logging in $HOME/.config/ddcutil/ddcutilrc, and started the user service. Here's the journal:
https://invent.kde.org/-/snippets/2985

Edit 1: adding --disable-dynamic-sleep did not help 

Edit 2: Turned out ddcutil is not failing for me. As V1del mentioned above, there's just not enough time for it to finish as TimeoutSec is set to 5sec in plasma-powerdevil.service. It requires a bit more than 5 seconds in my case:

time ddcutil detect

Increasing the timeout to 15 seconds fixed the problem for me.

# systemctl edit --user plasma-powerdevil.service
### Anything between here and the comment below will become the contents of the drop-in file

[Service]
TimeoutSec=15sec

### Edits below this comment will be discarded

I think newly added features to ddcutil 2 make it take considerably longer to initialize than before. The plasma powerdevil service should be adjusted to consider this extra time.

Edit 3:
Running ddcutil with --enable-dynamic-sleep causes many errors to show up in the journal but it doesn't prevent the powerdevil from starting up as ddcutil automatically disables the dynamic sleep and retry. Running it with --disable-dynamic-sleep helps to eliminate those error messages and cuts the initialization from 6.539 to 5.2 seconds for me.
