Package: powerdevil Version: 4:6.3.6-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? After upgrading to Debian Trixie, I noticed that the usb hub in my monitor was switching on periodically, when the screen was off. This caused the backlight that I have plugged in the hub to blink, approx 20 seconds off, 5 second on. I have seen similar things in Bookworm, but only a few times an hour. To make the debugging even more confusing, this seemed to happen randomly, typically after I had been at the computer for a while. I finally traced that to the fact that the issue did not happen if I was playing music on Audacious. I did not see anything on D-Bus or other places that might trigger the power-ups. With the help of ChatGpt, I found a workaround: editing ~/.config/powermanagementprofilesrc to set [AC][DimDisplay] idleTime=0 fixed the problem, the backlight is not getting on any more. I tried to file this directly to KDE, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509100 but KDE refused it, as being too old version, and because you like to get the first reports directly. There may be useful info in that bug. I don't think it matters, but my monitor is BenQ PD3200U -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.0 APT prefers stable-security APT policy: (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.41+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages powerdevil depends on: ii libc6 2.41-12 ii libcap2-bin 1:2.75-10+b1 ii libkf6authcore6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6configcore6 6.13.0-2 ii libkf6coreaddons6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6crash6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6dbusaddons6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6globalaccel6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6i18n6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6idletime6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6kcmutilscore6 6.13.0-2 ii libkf6kcmutilsquick6 6.13.0-2 ii libkf6runner6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6screen8 4:6.3.4-1 ii libkf6screendpms8 4:6.3.4-1 ii libkf6service-bin 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6service6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6solid6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6xmlgui6 6.13.0-1 ii libkirigamiplatform6 6.13.0-2 ii libkscreen-bin 4:6.3.4-1 ii libkworkspace6-6 4:6.3.6-2 ii libpowerdevilcore2 4:6.3.6-1 ii libqcoro6dbus0t64 0.12.0-1 ii libqt6core6t64 [qt6-base-private-abi] 6.8.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt6dbus6 6.8.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt6gui6 6.8.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt6qml6 6.8.2+dfsg-7 ii libqt6quick6 6.8.2+dfsg-7 ii libstdc++6 14.2.0-19 ii powerdevil-data 4:6.3.6-1 Versions of packages powerdevil recommends: ii power-profiles-daemon 0.30-1.1 ii systemsettings 4:6.3.4-2 powerdevil suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
