I gotta also say that sometimes when switching it up, the brightness even though in 100%, stay a bit darker, even with HDR disabled, there might be bugs around it. I dont see any relevant errors in the logs, but will add it here what is there from KDE. systemd[3207]: dbus-:1.2-org.kde.KSplash@0.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. kwalletd6[3921]: g_dbus_proxy_get_object_path: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_PROXY (proxy)' failed kwin_wayland[3283]: kf.windowsystem: static bool KX11Extras::mapViewport() may only be used on X11 sudo[4660]: user : a password is required ; TTY=pts/1 ; PWD=/home/user ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/true kwin_wayland[3283]: kf.windowsystem: static bool KX11Extras::mapViewport() may only be used on X11 kwin_wayland[3283]: kwin_core: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 941, resource id: 20971547, major code: 129 (SHAPE), minor code: 6 (Input) kioworker[4891]: kf.config.core: "KConfigIni: In file /home/user/.local/share/Trash/info/.maccel.o.d.trashinfo, line 1:" Invalid entry (missing '=') plasmashell[3405]: kf.runner: Error requesting matches; calling "org.kde.runners.baloo" : "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported" "" plasmashell[3405]: kf.runner: Error requesting matches; calling "org.kde.runners.baloo" : "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported" "" plasmashell[3405]: kf.runner: Error requesting matches; calling "org.kde.runners.baloo" : "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported" "" kwin_wayland[3283]: kwin_xwl: Could not create a source from 0x735c60003190 0 kwin_wayland[3283]: qt.dbus.integration: QDBusConnection: couldn't handle call to Teardown, no slot matched kwin_wayland[3283]: qt.dbus.integration: QDBusConnection: couldn't handle call to Teardown, no slot matched baloorunner[4948]: qt.dbus.integration: QDBusConnection: couldn't handle call to Teardown, no slot matched baloorunner[4948]: qt.dbus.integration: QDBusConnection: couldn't handle call to Teardown, no slot matched kwin_wayland[3283]: qt.dbus.integration: Could not find slot Krunner1Adaptor::Teardown baloorunner[4948]: qt.dbus.integration: Could not find slot Krunner1Adaptor::Teardown plasmashell[3405]: kf.runner: Error requesting matches; calling "org.kde.runners.baloo" : "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported" "" plasmashell[3405]: kf.runner: Error requesting matches; calling "org.kde.runners.baloo" : "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported" "" Here is a video demonstrating https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/s5lvap1pg2in9v5103ong/20250516_121540_noaudio.mp4?rlkey=6zbezr59ilcie7vpbbm8s1cxu&st=rjwvbppv&dl=0 I noticed that when the brightness stay a bit darker, outside the main bug, with is HDR OFF, if I change HDR to ON and OFF again, that is fixed to the proper brightness. Does the monitor allow you to change brightness in its own menu? If so, is that value different when the screen is so dark? Auto HDR Brightness is disabled and I only see Peak White (nits) which is greyed out, with HDR ON. The brightness option is only available when HDR are OFF. So, no?! hmm, then it probably is something directly in KWin. When the screen is dark the next time, please attach the output of
> kscreen-doctor -o
Will do.
Just to have the info here. This is when HDR is correctly working in the Output that the issue happens.

The issue just happened again after coming back from being AFK / log in.
It's the same, nothing changed. This week I reduced a few settings on brightness but it's probably unrelated, as it have been working fine.

The only logs in the time between that it happened. There is a gsync issue, but I am not using gsync/vrr on this monitor, it's set to never. And I have plenty of env vars attempting to disable it. Since I use it disabled in X11, ULMB2 works there. But it is not truly disabled in wayland atm, since nvidia are still working to have ULMB2 working on Wayland, if ULMB2 are enabled, VRR are surely disabled. Not sure if related. jun 17 18:00:18 desktop-pc kernel: kauditd_printk_skb: 3073 callbacks suppressed jun 17 19:13:34 desktop-pc kernel: nvidia-modeset: WARNING: GPU:0: Asustek Computer Inc ROG PG27AQN (DP-2): Failed to initialize G-SYNC jun 17 19:13:34 desktop-pc kernel: kauditd_printk_skb: 129 callbacks suppressed jun 17 19:13:40 desktop-pc kernel: kauditd_printk_skb: 977 callbacks suppressed jun 17 19:13:42 desktop-pc kscreenlocker_greet[178623]: qt.qpa.wayland: Could not create EGL surface (EGL error 0x3003) jun 17 19:13:42 desktop-pc kscreenlocker_greet[178623]: Failed to write to the pipe: Bad file descriptor. jun 17 19:13:52 desktop-pc kernel: kauditd_printk_skb: 1041 callbacks suppressed jun 17 19:13:53 desktop-pc org_kde_powerdevil[3446]: No traced function stack for current thread jun 17 19:13:53 desktop-pc org_kde_powerdevil[3446]: [ 3446] /dev/i2c-3: Checking EDID succeeded after 2 tries (G) jun 17 19:13:53 desktop-pc org_kde_powerdevil[3446]: [ 3446] busno=3.

Correct. I then changed to X11, and logged back in, it was working correctly. Then I logged out again and logged back to Wayland, and the issue is back / continued. I regenerated the logs, there is no mentioned of gsync at this point. After a restart, the issue was back, then turning HDR off, fixed the issue. However if turning it back ON, the issue is back. As mentioned before. As I did the reboot, usually there is a closing console log screen that quickly shows, that was tuned down / darker too. Might be something related to lock screen after all. You know what fixed the issue, being AFK again, the screen turned black due to inactivity, after coming back on. I turned HDR on and it wa fixed. Not even a reboot did that. And in the meantime of it, the error again, yet it's working, so probably unrelated. jun 17 20:16:47 desktop-pc kernel: nvidia-modeset: WARNING: GPU:0: Asustek Computer Inc ROG PG27AQN (DP-2): Failed to initialize G-SYNC jun 17 20:16:52 desktop-pc kernel: kauditd_printk_skb: 956 callbacks suppressed jun 17 20:16:54 desktop-pc kscreenlocker_greet[4216]: qt.qpa.wayland: Could not create EGL surface (EGL error 0x3003) jun 17 20:16:54 desktop-pc kscreenlocker_greet[4216]: Failed to write to the pipe: Bad file descriptor. jun 17 20:16:58 desktop-pc kernel: kauditd_printk_skb: 1127 callbacks suppressed jun 17 20:17:03 desktop-pc kernel: kauditd_printk_skb: 3235 callbacks suppressed jun 17 20:17:10 desktop-pc kernel: kauditd_printk_skb: 1876 callbacks suppressed jun 17 20:17:40 desktop-pc kernel: kauditd_printk_skb: 210 callbacks suppressed jun 17 20:18:19 desktop-pc kwin_wayland[3242]: kf.windowsystem: static bool KX11Extras::mapViewport() may only be used on X11 Another bug not related to this one, that may have something in common, is a random crash that I reported in another issue before, might have been related to nvidia, where one of the monitors turned it's resolution to 640x480 with a different name. The something in common is happened after desktop being on lockscreen due to inactivity. So there might have some correlation of when problems happen in that part. Also happens here, Arch Linux and AMD RDNA 3 gpu combo. After approx 1 hour or so continous usage, screen brightness drops down. Until screen goes to sleep (eg, non activity or triggered manually) waking up screen once agins retains the originally set brightness level. There are some entires related to HDR in demsg but they are probably not related. ``` 8.541266] [drm] Initialized amdgpu 3.63.0 for 0000:12:00.0 on minor 0 [ 8.543767] amdgpu 0000:12:00.0: [drm]

That sounds like it could just be a monitor power saving feature? If you use the buttons on the monitor when it's darker, does that do anything? I just stated that there seem to be a pattern in common when it happened, after inactivity and screen lock. I didnt see it happening yet in latest 6.4, though it is very random.

As that dimming doesnt happen when it is in SDR mode. 🐛🧹 ⚠️ This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

This issue or at least a similar appeared again today. When HDR are ON, the screen goes off, but if I turn HDR off, it comes back. KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Graphics Platform: Wayland Here is a video of this one https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0gwdkgddcks83yfl0a88x/20250820_102230.mp4_noaudio.mp4?rlkey=s816hd1g0d0n0kyswk9fzlj21&st=4kx7rat7&dl=0 It has been working fine till today. I dont see anything relevant in the logs. Encountering this same issue, but on Bazzite KDE with an AMD 7900 xt It appears HDR is being enabled, but the wrong colorspace is being displayed? Happens under the following scenarios: -Locked for an extended period of time -HDR toggled on one monitor causes reproduction on the other.

I can very reliably reproduce this issue (I can make it occur on demand), so let me know if you want any other logs and how to retrieve them. Here's video of the issue. The best I can tell is going on, sans logs just with guesstimates, is when one monitor's HDR status is changed, it's applying to the other as well but without changing anything else required. (So color space changes but not the brightness, etc) So if you went and changed the HDR setting on monitor 1 it applies to both without actually signaling it to the second monitor and vice versa. So the brightness issue actually seems to perhaps be that disabling HDR on one monitor disables it on both but leaves the monitor its being applied to as the only one fully adjusting. If both monitors then turn off for an extended sleep when locked there may be a race condition whereby the monitors turning on leave it so whichever one turns on first is "safe" while the other suffers from the issue. Because it's always the monitor successfully being change that doesn't encounter the issue. It's always the other monitor. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4pifpzj2ekmg7y4lr296z/VID_20250820_164215468.mp4?rlkey=x0wopsvtrqpqyc7hlegpp5pyk&st=5c7d7e2d&dl=0 That is not the case in the setup here, the HDR on the second monitor are really bad, but it doesnt affect anything on that. (In reply to dougg0k from comment #25) > That is not the case in the setup here, the HDR on the second monitor are > really bad, but it doesnt affect anything on that. I can still provide whatever logs are necessary. Just need to be told where to check. Since I can still cause the brightness issue on command. I think I get this too, although maybe it's just very similar. For me it triggers when the screen is switched off and on again (which effectively means reconnect). Then brightness and colors are completely off. It's fixed for me by re-applying the screen settings in Display & Monitor, at least until I turn off the screen next time. The issues on AMD are a different problem, and a bug in the driver. See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/4444 for more details.
