KDE Powerdevil

Hello all,

I have some quirky behavior in the KDE DE, I have logged bug report with KDE Team (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487573), but as it only seems to affect Arch disto's they suggested I log a query here and see if anyone has any suggestions.

Long story short, the KDE feature of displaying the wait locks in "Power and Battery" and "Display Configuration" do not work until I restart the plasma workspace with:

systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.service

I have tried Arch, Manjaro and EndeavourOS, all exhibit the same behavior.

Has anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Re: KDE Powerdevil

I have the similar issue (for me, it starts fine, but process dies when switching between power and battery).
Following your post, I investigated and found this and added timeout to the process:
systemctl edit --user plasma-powerdevil.service

[Service]
TimeoutSec=15sec

I'll see if this solves it
