--- Comment #6 from Jakob Petsovits <jpe...@petsovits.com> --- PowerDevil to the best of my knowledge does not generally spawn other processes for its basic function. Two ideas: * Perhaps libddcutil uses a subprocess to query monitors through the I2C bus. Try disabling powerdevil's use of libddcutil via `POWERDEVIL_NO_DDCUTIL=1` environment variable to verify whether this is the case, more detail in the PowerDevil README: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/blob/master/README.md#troubleshooting--reporting-bugs * Perhaps your PowerDevil configuration sets a custom script command (for the current power state profile) which tries indefinitely to spawn a subprocess, fails and tries again indefinitely. Look in your ~/.config/powerdevilrc file for any "[RunScript]" sections; if any exist, comment them out for the time being to verify if this is the culprit. If neither of these provide any good information, please increase output verbosity as also noted in the PowerDevil README.
