[Powerdevil] [Bug 304696] Display is dimmed in half the time you configure to dim

There's no real way for us to know whether a person set the time they did
because that's the way they wanted it and they never noticed the bug, or
because they did notice the bug and were manually working around it. For that
reason, any such migration code would probably cause as many problems as it
would potentially solve. As a general matter, people who find workarounds for
issues are generally expected to undo their workarounds once the issues are
fixed.

Nah; this isn't enough of a problem for me for it to be worth delaying the fix.
But thanks for confirming that there's no config migration. I'll just keep an
eye on the behaviour when upgrading.

There isn't, but if you think it is a real problem I think it might be possible
to revert the change from stable and just leave it be a breaking change for the
next big 6.0 release…

Is there some migration so that the currently-configured timeout doesn't
suddenly double at the next upgrade? Some of us have since configured our
systems to compensate for the 50% time behaviour.

dimdisplay: only dim the screen at configured dim time

The current logic is completely broken:

1. It disables the screen at `m_dimOnIdleTime` even though disabling
   the screen is handled elsewhere with a separate timeout, and the logic
   here has prefix "Dim*" so has nothing to do with disabling it.
2. It does not follow the timeout configured by a user (that is the
   `m_dimOnIdleTime`) and instead dims the screen at completely
   arbitrary 50% and 75% periods of the configured time.

Let's get rid of all that and only do exactly what the user asked: dim
the screen at `m_dimOnIdleTime`.

--- Comment #18 from Tim Siegel  ---
This bug is still present, KDE 5.24.4.

There are 5 proposed solutions, ranked from worst to best.

1. Do nothing, it works as intended.
2. Keep the same behavior, except dim less (90%, 75%). This will cause just as
much end-user confusion, while also upsetting people who are used to the
current behavior.
3. Keep the same behavior, but document it in the settings interface. This is
the least we could do, should ruffle no feathers, and won't even unbalance the
UI since that page already contains several long textual explanations.
4. Keep the behavior as is, except change the dimming times to be 1, ⁵⁄₄, ³⁄₂
(instead of ½, ¾, 1), so the screen stays full brightness until the requested
dimming time.
5. Remove this unnecessary feature. Dim 50% at the requested time, and let
"Screen Energy Saving: Switch off" do the rest.

"Do nothing" has been the KDE response for a decade at this point, and yet it
is clearly the wrong answer. There is no way to read "Dim screen: After 3
minutes" to mean "50% at 1:30".

If the behaviour is not changed, it would be nice to have the actual behaviour
explained in the config panel. The current experience certainly isn't as
intuitive as it could be.

As Oliver said in 2013, it looks like this is the intended behaviour since it
was first written (8 years ago?).

https://github.com/KDE/powerdevil/blame/master/daemon/actions/bundled/dimdisplay.cpp#L64

At 50% the set idle duration, it dims to 50% brightness.
At 75% the set idle duration, it dims to 12.5% brightness.
At 100% the set idle duration, it dims to 0% brightness.

We could maybe use different values, say 90% brightness, then 70% brightness,
before dropping to 0% at the specified time.

I wonder if there'd be issues with changing it to 5/4 (125% idle duration) and
3/2 (150% idle duration) so that it doesn't start dimming before the user's
explicitly defined value.

Power settings not obeyed

Hi, this bug still exists in Plasma 5.14.1 (on openSUSE Tumbleweed).

With the settings in this screenshot, it appears to dim to about 50% brightness
after 2.5 minutes (half of my configured 5 minutes). But what is more strange
is that it goes into yet another dimmed state of about 10% brightness at the 5
minute mark, and finally powers off the screen entirely at 6 minutes.

This is still open. Setting "Dim screen" to "3 min" makes the display dim after
90s (instead of 180s). Unchecking "Dim screen" disables dimming, so it is
likely due to this setting.

System settings 5.11.3 on KDE neon.

Can't believe this has been open for 5+ years.
