Bug ID: 455381
Summary: Screen Brightness level is not set properly by Plasma
5.25
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.25.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: raitarohik...@protonmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The battery applet in the System Tray cannot properly change the brightness
anymore.
The "screen brightness" settings in "Energy Saving" are also not properly set
either. As such, not putting this under System Tray.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use the slider or the mouse wheel to change brightness
2. Brightness changes a bit but resets to a very low value (11%)
3. The actual slider value also gets reset afterwards
and
1. Set 100% brightness for "on ac power"
2. Plug the power cable
3. Screen brightness remains low
OBSERVED RESULT
Brightness level cannot be set using the tray icon anymore, nor enforced by
Energy Savings settings.
Using `brightnessctl -d "intel_backlight" set N%` does change the brightness
level correctly, and the slider in the applet will indeed correctly reflect the
change.
EXPECTED RESULT
Brightness gets suddenly reset to 11% instead of what the user specified.
This can also result in flickering.
