Bug ID: 464996
Summary: Resurrection of bug 422111
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: benmott...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Guys - this is a report of the symptoms of bug #422111 appearing again.
bug #422111 is logged as resolved/closed and I don't know if it needs
re-opening or if I should log a new bug, hence submitting this for triage.
Sadly I am not able to in depth debug the issues described in the previous bug,
but I can confirm that I can reliably reproduce the non working (or working) of
the battery indicator by varying the sleep workaround in the power
devil.desktop file.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Laptop as usual after update to Manjaro/Kernel 6.1.7
OBSERVED RESULT
1. Battery level not displayed in KDE desktop, though it is on login screen,
regardless of on mains or on battery boot.
EXPECTED RESULT
1. Battery level displayed always (if set) or when running on Battery (When
always display not set)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64; systemd boot.
Kernel: 6.1.7-1-Manjaro
KDE Plasma Version: Plasma 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
What I have done to verify that it is the bug rather than something completely
new...
1. Set Battery/Brightness widget in system tray to Always On.
2. Widget displayed with message "No Battery" on hover. CLI tools show both
battery present and charge levels correctly (as in original bug)
3. Use work around suggested in bug 422111 and Set the Exec= sleep n &&... line
in /etc/xdg/autostart/powerdevil.desktop such that n>=21 (original work around
says 30, I played around to find the approximate minimum that, on my machine,
worked around the bug)
4. Restart laptop
5. Battery level is displayed correctly on login screen and also in the system
tray. CLI tools still report battery and charge levels.
6. Set Set the Exec= sleep n &&... line in
/etc/xdg/autostart/powerdevil.desktop such that n<21
7. Restart laptop
8. Login screen battery level displays correctly
9. System Tray Widget displayed with message "No Battery" on hover. CLI tools
show both battery present and charge levels correctly (as in original bug)
10. reset sleep to n>=21
11. restart and everything works as expected.
