(In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #2) > What do you mean with "Then interrupt by keyboard press. Login again."? My reading is that this describes the interaction on the lock screen. Keyboard press will (attempt to) cancel the dimming and show the password field. "Login again" refers to unlocking the session, as opposed to anything SDDM-related. Note that dimming has seen a number of improvements since 5.27.5, in particular: * https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/commit/14647dc6ffd1104c1c0ab393518de8a65cb39d70 (went into 5.27.8) * https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/commit/8681355217eb6ff121785572eaf4ef2ca21b464b (went into 6.0.1). The dimming code is still a little fragile in its interactions with other brightness mechanisms, but it's possible that this particular bug has been fixed by now. Could you retest with a more recent Plasma (5.27.8 or higher, ideally Plasma 6.0.2 or higher) and report back on whether you're still seeing this issue? I can confirm this still happening on plasma 6.0.3. Forum post here: https://discuss.kde.org/t/night-colors-brightness-and-screen-saver/12285 Since there is no way of triggering this other than randomly catching my computer "dimming" it's hard to provide much more than "it still happens". But if you have ideas of what I could provide that could help, please let me know. |
