Bug ID: 487208 Summary: Spectacle dims/turns off the screen when invoked Classification: Applications Product: Spectacle Version: 24.02.2 Platform: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: General Assignee: noaha...@gmail.com Reporter: rica...@palmtx.com.ar CC: k...@david-redondo.de Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY When I invoke Spactacle, either via PrintScreen key, krunner or konsole, my screen dims and there's no easy way to bring it back to life STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Press PrintScreen key or launch spectacle some other way 2. Watch the screen dim with no way to recover it OBSERVED RESULT Screen dims completely EXPECTED RESULT Screen shoud remain on SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS spectacle 24.02.2 Operating System: Fedora Linux 40 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 Kernel Version: 6.8.9-300.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i5-1035G1 CPU @ 1.00GHz Memory: 15.2 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The first time it happend I connected a secondary monitor, it took its time but worked, so I at least was able to save my work and close my programs before rebooting. Before rebooting I tried disabling the laptop screen from system settings, modifying the screen brightnes, making the external monitor primary, etc. to no avail. Today at home I started experimenting and if I put my laptop to sleep (which takes longer than usual) it resumes correctly, except if I didn't close spectacle the screen dims again, so I have to blindly Alt+Tab out of spectacle before hitting th sleep button. When invoked from konsole/yakuake (e.g. `spectacle -t`), this message is repeteadly printed: ``` libva info: VA-API version 1.21.0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/dri-nonfree/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_21 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 kpipewire_record_logging: VAAPI: Display initialized kpipewire_record_logging: VAAPI: API version 1 . 21 kpipewire_record_logging: VAAPI: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 24.1.5 () in use for device "/dev/dri/renderD128" ``` -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
