Description Jouni Karlsson 2009-04-30 10:29:28 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Power Control settings for Display functions in illogical way.

If I try to setup a power control scheme with standby of 30, suspend of 60 and power off of 120 minutes, I have to go through the settings in reverse order or else my standby is reset to 6 minutes when entering suspend (60) setting. After that both standby and suspend are reset to 12 minutes when entering power off setting (120).

The Energy KCM has been outdated and unmaintained since some time ago. In the other hand, KDE4 gained a new (and powerful) power management daemon: "PowerDevil" (which is accessible from System Settings/Advanced/Power Management)

Today we removed the Energy KCM from the code in KDE 4.4 development trunk, to avoid some conflicts between the settings of the two modules and to set PowerDevil as the default power manager (it was the default one already).

To the people using KDE4: disable the Energy KCM settings and configure your power management options using the new PowerDevil. If you encounter the same problems, please file new bug reports against the "solid/powerdevil-daemon" product on bugs.kde.org

Thank you.
