Bug ID: 442064
Summary: the `powermanagement` data engine calling the
`UnInhibit` method with incorrect signature
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: DataEngines
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: 7437...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I noticed the Battery and Brightness applet always ends up in a confusing state
after using its "Inhibit automatic sleep and screen locking" feature. I tracked
it down to the `powermanagement` data engine calling the `UnInhibit` method
with incorrect signature:
- [when un-inhibit
sleep](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/dataengines/powermanagement/powermanagementjob.cpp#L107)
- [when un-inhibit screen
locking](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/dataengines/powermanagement/powermanagementjob.cpp#L126)
The correct signature should take an unsigned int:
-
[`org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.UnInhibit`](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/blob/master/daemon/org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit.xml#L10)
-
[`org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.UnInhibit`](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/blob/master/daemon/org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.xml#L30)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure nothing is inhibiting
```
qdbus --literal org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement.PolicyAgent \
/org/kde/Solid/PowerManagement/PolicyAgent \
org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement.PolicyAgent.ListInhibitions
```
2. Check the "Inhibit automatic sleep and screen locking" box in the Battery
and Brightness applet
3. Wait 5 seconds for the inhibition to engage and verify the list of
inhibitions. There should be 2 items.
4. Uncheck the "Inhibit automatic sleep and screen locking" box in the Battery
and Brightness applet
OBSERVED RESULT
Inhibitions are **not** released. And if you toggle the checkbox multiple
times, there will be many duplicated items in the list.
If you run
```
dbus-monitor "destination=org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit"
"sender=org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit"
```
during step 4, the error reply will be captured (something similar to the
following):
```
error time=1630903644.048537 sender=:1.414 -> destination=:1.57
error_name=org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod reply_serial=7813
string "No such method 'UnInhibit' in interface
'org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit' at object path
'/org/freedesktop/PowerManagement/Inhibit' (signature 'i')"
```
EXPECTED RESULT
Inhibitions are released.
