--- Comment #5 from Bob <bobfun...@gmail.com> --- In regular use I have a non-systemd system and plasmashell and powerdevil get started via their /etc/kde/xdg/autostart/ scripts. They are not always started in the same order on my system. Sometimes they are closer together, sometimes further apart, sometimes in reverse order. It would seem that on some of these occasions there is a timing that hits this bug. With that in mind, I managed to reproduce this bug from a running plasma session by opening konsole and running the following as my test user: # /usr/lib64/libexec/org_kde_powerdevil --replace & /usr/bin/plasmashell --replace Most of the time the two will restart as normal. However on rare occasion it will start with the bugged batterymonitor applet where it fails to report about my laptop's battery. Racing the two programs this way seems to trigger it as well, although only on rare occasion. The plasmashell console spew after the --replace command was is same everytime when the battery applet is working normally. When the applet gets bugged, the only difference is that plasmashell console will output the following: file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.battery/contents/ui/CompactRepresentation.qml:61:17: Unable to assign [undefined] to int This line gets emitted when clicking on the icon in the system tray when the battery icon that should be there is bugged and replaced with the display brightness icon instead. I am not a kde/plasma expert so its hard to know what to look into next here. Any insight on what to try next from a dev would be appreciated. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
