Bug ID: 466215
Summary: Screen Energy Saving timeout is no longer switching
off screens
Classification: Plasma
Product: Powerdevil
Version: 5.27.0
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: skierp...@gmail.com
CC: m...@ratijas.tk
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After Fedora KDE spin updated to 5.27.0 I noticed my screens don't turn off
after X minutes. I'm using Fedora 37 Wayland session on a Thinkpad laptop with
external monitor over DisplayPort.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set System Settings > Power Management > Energy Saving > Dim screen (I've
never knowingly used this before) to 1 minute, ... > Screen Energy Saving to
checked with "Switch off after" 2 minutes, and System Settings > Workspace
Behavior > Screen Locking > "Lock screen automatically" to checked after 3
minutes.
2. Stand there watching.
OBSERVED RESULT
Neither my laptop screen nor external monitor dims, neither screen turns off,
and after three minutes the lock screen enables.
EXPECTED RESULT
My screens should turn off after the timeout set in System Settings > Power
Management > Energy Saving. (I've never paid attention to "Dim screen" before.)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8 on Wayland
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
"Arthur" reported the same thing on Nate's blog,

I didn't see anything from powerdevil in journalctl --since=-5m output. Some
warnings and errors from kscreenlocker_greet but I assume that's the lock
screen, not screen poweroff. (Are there debug flags to print more details?)
One workaround is to add a shortcut in System Settings -> Shortcuts -> Power
Management -> Turn Monitor off , e.g. Meta+Alt+L.
