Package: powerdevil
Version: 4:6.2.3-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: s.hu...@gmx.net
Dear Maintainer,
after upgrading to Plasma Desktop 6.2.3 and thereby powerdevil 6.2.3,
powerdevil does not adjust the screen brightness any more when changing
from AC to battery power. The option is still enabled in the GUI. I have
tried removing and re-generating powerdevil config files in .config.
I observe this regression from 5.27.11 on both of my devices.
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.
Thanks and best regards,
Sönke
