[Resolved] display no longer goes to sleep during power saver

iSpicyCurry · 2025-07-19 02:06:26

Hey all a recent KDE update seems to have broken the power saving feature that turns your display off after x amount of time for my monitor. I captured some logs but I'm not sure how to interpret them and could use some help.

I'm using Arch with AMD ATI Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU and Plasma 6.4.2.

The SDDM session looks harmless, is seatd running/enaled?
Please post the output of

I think "no" - which is good but then seatd won't explain the failure.

Sanity check: does it still work w/ KWin/X11?
Do didn't just stumble into wayland because of https://archlinux.org/news/plasma-640-w … re-on-x11/ ?

iSpicyCurry · 2025-07-21 00:36:23

I've been using Wayland exclusively for (I think) over a year now and it's been working as expected. I updated my machine yesterday and it looks like the display is turning off during power saving mode again. Not sure what changed
