Have you restarted your session after enabling the service? (In reply to Antonio Rojas from comment #1) > Have you restarted your session after enabling the service? Yes I have Work for me on Fedora 34 FWIW, so it's not a universal issue. Since the CLI tool works for you, it seems like you have a supported kernel and hardware.

I think it is because the power profiles slider in the battery & brightness applet only works with hardware that supports the performance profile in addition to the other two profiles, so if you are on hardware that only supports power-saver and balanced, the slider won't show up. The power profiles slider does not appear when you are on hardware that's not supported by the daemon. powerprofilesctl should print 'Driver: placeholder' and changing the profile will in fact have not any effect, that's why it's hidden in this case OK, so it's fully supported for me and I see this:
$ powerprofilesctl
performance:
Driver: platform_profile
Inhibited: no
* balanced:
Driver: platform_profile
power-saver:
Driver: platform_profile
What about you, Samuel?

I'm pretty sure it is placeholder because it has only power-saver and balanced, but it is weird that other desktop environments like GNOME still show it even if it is placeholder. balanced:
Driver: placeholder
* power-saver:
Driver: placeholder
Yep, it is placeholder, probably because power-profiles-daemon only supports intel cpus and not amd.

You should probably file a report with GNOME so they too don't show the slider for placeholder drivers. |
Created attachment 141889 [details] Battery and Brightness applet SUMMARY: Plasmashell doesn't show the power profiles slider in the Battery and Brightness applet, even though I can use the powerprofilesctl command to set the profile, but it only has power-saver and balanced. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. Launch Plasma(Wayland or X11) 2. Click on the battery icon in the tray 3. No power profiles slider shown OBSERVED RESULT: No power profiles slider is shown in the Battery and Brightness applet. EXPECTED RESULT: Battery and Brightness applet should show the power profiles slider and be able to set it.
