Slider handle snaps back

See attached screen recording.

This seems to happen reliably for me when performance mode is not being inhibited, but I have occasionally seen it happen when performance mode is not being inhibited.
Comment 1 David Redondo 2021-08-03 07:18:24 UTC
Can you record a dbus log when this happens, bonus points in pcap format (--pcap option of dbus-monitor)

dbis-monitor --pcap output

Attached.
Comment 3 David Redondo 2021-08-05 07:06:11 UTC
Hmm I cannot open the file, is the format broken somehow? I think you just pasted the output, try writing it directly to a file. But indeed I can sport in there the profile changes back to balanced. Can you get me a system bus log as well?
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2021-08-06 17:21:34 UTC
Yeah I just pasted the terminal output.

.pcap log file

Okay, here is a new log file in hopefully the correct format.

System bus log in .pcap format, as requested

system dbus log with sudo

system dbus log with sudo, for good measure
Comment 8 David Redondo 2021-08-11 07:14:09 UTC
From the system log

- we call setProfile
- the profile changes
- the profile changes back

So looks like an upstream issue. Out of interest which version of ppd are you running? It seems it's not the latest version judging from that you see inhibitions, maybe you can try updating ppd
Comment 9 Nate Graham 2021-08-11 13:40:32 UTC
I have 0.8.1. Looks like 9.0 was released about three weeks ago, but it isn't shipped in Fedora yet. 9.0 replaces inhibition with degradation, so given that the bug affects a feature that has been removed in a released version, this is probably not worth reporting upstream or doing further investigation.

Thanks!
Comment 10 Nate Graham 2022-01-15 23:11:38 UTC
I have the latest version of PPD now which does degradation rather than inhibition, and unfortunately it's still happening.

If this is an upstream issue, what should I report upstream?

This bug seems to have popped up again in Arch on 6.04. Perhaps related to Qt 6.7. Have reproduced on both intel and amd gpus.

Hi, Same bug for me.
Fresh Manjaro with Plasma 6 install.
On each click, slider come back to the initial position.
With OSD (META+B), the profile change well.

Yeah, and it got later fixed in our code for 6.1.

At that point, when it happens it's because the firmware isn't allowing the change.
