Description Alif 2023-08-09 10:22:00 UTC

SUMMARY
When a break starts the break will never end because RSI break always registers that the computer is not idle.

***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log in with wayland
2. Start RSI break
3. Notice that the app is never registering an idle time. Even if you don't touch your PC it will still register you are doing some activity.

OBSERVED RESULT
When a break starts the break will never end because it always registers that the computer is not idle.

EXPECTED RESULT
If the user stops touching the keyboard and touchpad, it should register it as idle time.

Just to confirm, this can only be reproduced on Wayland?
And what version of RSIBreak are you using?

Yes, it only happens on Wayland. and RSI break version was 0.12.15

This is a kidletime problem.

It has some support for idletime detection on Wayland but KIdleTime::idleTime doesn't work, not much rsibreak can do if the libraries it's built on don't work properly.

I don't know but idletime detection works on Gnome with Gnome's 'Break Timer'. So, there ofcourse is a way to detect idletime on Wayland.
