[Powerdevil] [Bug 304696] Display is dimmed in half the time you configure to dim
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304696 --- Comment #26 from Nate Graham --- 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304696 --- Comment #25 from Paul Gideon Dann --- 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

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… -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304696 Tim Siegel changed: What|Removed |Added Version|5.2.0 |5.24.4 CC||[email protected] --- 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". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304696 --- Comment #17 from Paul Gideon Dann --- If the behaviour is not changed, it would be nice to have the actual behaviour explained in the config panel.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304696 Chris Holland changed: What|Removed |Added CC||[email protected] --- Comment #14 from Chris Holland --- 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304696 --- Comment #12 from [email protected] --- 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.
