powerdevil
confusing/broken UI
If the UI is not self-contained and relies on other configuration elsewhere, please educate user (with Info message in dialog) where to look. Educate user he should look at config /etc/systemd/logind.conf For example for the point 2) "Button events handling" I have marian@HPSpectre:~$ cat /etc/systemd/logind.conf | grep HandleLidSwitch HandleLidSwitch=suspend-then-hibernate #HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=suspend #HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore Worse, even though AFAIK the "hibernate after a period of inactivity" affects suspend on lid close, it doesn't seem like you can enable the checkbox unless automatic suspend is enabled (if you check it and then leave the return, it's unchecked again). Thus, you can't used suspend-then-hibernate on lid close unless you also have automatic suspend enabled. This is fixed by Jakob Petsovits with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/commit/8babe3530c32feb60e982eccd92fe2341091858d in Plasma 6, which re-does the entire UI and doesn't suffer from this issue anymore. |
