https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476375 --- Comment #60 from Jakob Petsovits --- Alright folks, the commit from Comment #59 is going to be in Plasma 6 RC1, a.k.a. version 5.92.0 and above. What this means is that you can now create a file called $HOME/.config/ddcutil/ddcutilrc. If present, both the PowerDevil daemon and ddcutil will read and interpret it. The contents could look e.g. like this: [global] ; Combined with all other options strings options : --trace-to-syslog-only --trcfunc ddc_write_read_with_retry --trcfunc ddc_write_read There is a slightly more detailed documentation page for this file at https://www.ddcutil.com/config_file/ and a listing of the numerous ddcutil options at https://www.ddcutil.com/options_main/ - go nuts if you're into debugging. Any ddcutil tracing output will show up in journalctl, under org_kde_powerdevil. I don't know enough about ddcutil to tell what a good set of options would be to debug this particular use case, maybe the above are a good start or maybe they're unreadable noise. Not sure, we'll have to figure it out as we go along. You can also try specifying some of the options that change how ddcutil behaves. If you find an options that magically fixes things for you, that would be a *very* solid data point. But even without that, we should now have some tools on hand to communicate effectively with the ddcutil maintainer on his GitHub page: https://github.com/rockowitz/ddcutil/issues/ Another thing you can do for better reporting is to make PowerDevil's own logging statements show up in journalctl. Tell systemd to give you an editor by calling: systemctl edit --user plasma-powerdevil.service Then add something like this to the empty space "between here and the comment below": [Service] Environment="QT_LOGGING_RULES=*.debug=true;qt.*.debug=false" This will tell us approximately how far you made it into PowerDevil's DDC code. You can already do this with previously released versions of PowerDevil, too. To actually see the output without having to log out and back in, restart just the PowerDevil daemon with: systemctl restart --user plasma-powerdevil.service When posting output, please use pastebin sites such as https://paste.kde.org/, https://gist.github.com/ or https://pastebin.com/ and link to those pastes. It's already a very long bug, let's try to keep it relatively tidy. Thanks everyone for helping to get this nailed down! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476375 Jakob Petsovits changed: What|Removed |Added CC||jpe...@petsovits.com --- Comment #58 from Jakob Petsovits --- The stacktrace by Markus in comment 39 is a good one, but it's hidden deep in the first ddcutil function that powerdevil calls. Seems unlikely that it would have been KDE's fault at that point. The other two or so stacktraces were not useful. I had a little bit of a look at what's new in ddcutil 2.0.0; among other things, it introduces an optional initialization function. Calling this (or not) shouldn't make a difference in how ddcutil behaves by default, but it does allow any user to turn on copious amounts of trace logs that should help with producing more useful information for us or the ddcutil maintainer. These will show up in your journalctl logs under the 'org_kde_powerdevil' name once the above merge request goes in. You'll have to wait for the next Plasma 6 release candidate after that in order to use this for debugging, or build Plasma from scratch. Frankly, KDE devs won't be able to do overly much with ddcutil traces and we'll probably have to ask for help on the ddcutil issue tracker. But if the crash is really in ddcutil's court, being able to log traces and test non-default behavior with runtime options is going to help us iterate faster. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Speaking of that, I saw that I had a systray there too, where the "Brightness/Powedevil" entry was. I disabled that from systray since I do not need it twice. Now it's only on my primary in systray. And now I can start Powerdevil again with the TimeoutSec workaround. I set it to TimeoutSec=44sec It runs but it has 2 glitches: 1. I can not set the Power Profile (Power Save v Balanced v Performance) in the Plasma session. The systray entry slider slips back. However when I log out and back in, the slider is where I had just wanted to set it and it appears to be working. (in the System Settings > Power Management > Energy Saving, it appears to be the same issue, but there is a 4th option: Leave unchanged. Selecting this does not fix the slider issue I guess. But maybe a good option if you're affected by the bug?) 2. I can set the brightness only for my primary screen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Perhaps usefull : powerdevil was working again in Linux Manjaro, after the following update : https://forum.manjaro.org/t/stable-update-2023-12-10-kernels-plasma-phosh-systemd-cinnamon-gnome-libpamac/153045 I didn't ran any Konsole command, but I was able to adjust the brightness for my secondary screen, that was stuck at 50% brightness. It worked strangely : I put the brightness at 100% and it changed the brightness of my primary screen ; I used the slider to set the brightness back to 70%, and the secondary screen display went from 50 to 70%, while the primary didn't change. I used this to put the brightness of the secondary screen to 99%, which is functional for me. There's been another update, meanwhile : https://forum.manjaro.org/t/stable-update-2023-12-13-kernels-blender-kde-gear-pamac-11-7-python-haskell/153275 I have the same problem again, so perhaps it's related to that update. dez 14 21:25:35 jorge-machine org_kde_powerdevil[668268]: org.kde.powerdevil: org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper.brightness failed dez 14 21:25:40 jorge-machine systemd[872]: plasma-powerdevil.service: start operation timed out.

That is the reason why I never thought about disconnecting any of my monitors. There is already a temporary solution for it that was posted on the Arch Wiki. I will link to it. It solved my problem. Hopefully it will also solve yours. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2136605#p2136605 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I do realize you're trying to offer a workaround, however I've rolled back the powerdevil & ddcutil packages as a temporary solution. Hopefully this will be fixed before Plasma 6 is released, as I imagine rolling back those packages might not work quite so well after a major update like Plasma 6. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

For me, powerdevil only crashes when an Apple Cinema Display (model A1267) is
connected. Brightness control of this display requires acdcontrol
(https://github.com/jenrik/acdcontrol).

While I had to relogin to apply power levels (eg power save <> performance), the only downside. Now everything, incl. brightness-adjust won't work. You said you had to reboot once a while to keep it working? I edited the powerdevil.desktop file now. I had not done that yet.

I disabled auto-dim which with this update gets enabled by default 5min. I applied your powerdevil.desktop workaround on top. I will tell reboot and tell the outcomes, next try again with only the timeout edit, try again with your powerdevil.desktop workaround. Repeat these steps with the Stable update roll of Manjaro. If all fails I will downgrade again. Might take me a while and some ease but I will give feedback.

When I edit the desktop file Powerdevil still fails to start a few times but then the loop stops eventually. If I increase the timeout time only the libddcutil errors below are present.

It looks like ddcutils 2.0 now also lists my previously not recognized displays and prints that communication error. 'ddcutil vcpinfo' says that 'feature x10' is the brightness control support. Since both my monitors don't support that feature, i think that error message is probably correct. But maybe this error could be the reason why Powerdevil fails to start, since it also shows up in my systemd journal shortly before Powerdevil fails. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

You should edit the timeout after you have installed these latest versions of powerdevil & ddcutil, because the update resets it to 5s. Hm, it is working fine as in you get screen brightness now that is working along Night Color. For the 3 energy options Power Save / Balanced / Performance that do reappear too, the slider will not hold i. e. I don't think it sets them while logged in. However drag that slider where you want it, maybe try a few times :) then logout and login and the slider is set. Must be working that way, or how do you make sure the option is in fact in tact after the re-login? If so, this is a workaround I can live with so a while, latest versions, 1 logo-logi required for changed things to come into effect. No powerdevil cpu hassle or anything.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476375 --- Comment #16 from Altamush Nayyer Khan --- I believe that this may help someone. If you edit the powerdevil.desktop file and do the following X-systemd-skip=false X-KDE-autostart-phase=1 the restart loop breaks. It sometimes returns, and then when I restart the system it goes away. It appears to just appear at random. I edited the file directly that exists within xdg. Maybe this is the solution for now? The file can be found in /etc/xdg/autostart It is safe to edit this file, yes? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
