I likely would have figured this out in Bug 433452 (way back in 2021) if Plasma was actually telling the truth about the situation. Instead, Plasma said that it was doing something that it clearly wasn't and we've had annoying packaging bugs in the ecosystem for AT LEAST 3 YEARS. This is FAR from the first time I've been incredibly frustrated with KDE's power management reporting and documentation. I had to do all the grunt work several years ago communicating with the Plex team to get Plex to work with Plasma's power management https://forums.plex.tv/t/linux-flatpak-player-doesnt-inhibit-power-management/804528. > What you describe next is a different issue: Bug 328987. It is but it also isn't because SDL (powering moonlight under the hood) is actively trying to stop the screen saver from working. Plasma is reporting that it's succeeding at that, and it fails anyways. The SDL code is seemingly even capable of using org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver but seemingly neglects to use that code path if Inhibit succeeds: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/17965117824d82afd0f6692c8871510f942270f7/src/core/linux/SDL_dbus.c#L367 https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/17965117824d82afd0f6692c8871510f942270f7/src/core/linux/SDL_dbus.c#L460 Multiple major developers are clearly genuinely being confused about what signal they need to be sending for the behavior they want. How Plasma responds to Inhibit, both in the UI and power management side is surely entirely within its control. This is no different to me than if Dolphin said it deleted a file but the file is still in the directory. I'm grateful for all the work various people in this community do, but can we please accept there's a *real* bug here and that the Plasma UI should not actively lie about the behavior of its own power management system? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
