Since the last 2 stable updates with KDE6 update, I have been experiencing inconsistent behavior of Display and Brightness
settings for my monitor, where it does not dim nor sleeps after the set timers.
Manually restarting plasma-powerdevil.service
temporarily fixes it
This mostly/only happens after resuming from sleep. On a cold or reboot Energy Saving works fine.
Anyone know if this a known issue in KDE6?
Journalctl to me does not show anything out of the ordinary that sticks out regarding powerdevil
