Created attachment 165026 [details] Demonstration. In the video, there is precisely one HID interaction: hitting return on the command present in step 1 Evening! SUMMARY Since switching to an AMD GPU (IIRC - been a while :/), when KDE turns my screens off, they stay off very briefly, then fires back up after a brief time, even when idle. I've created a video of the effect, it's attached. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0. Get the (currently, to me, unknown) combination of software and hardware to cause this 1. sleep 1; dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/org_kde_powerdevil org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.invokeShortcut string:'Turn Off Screen' 2. Wait a few seconds OBSERVED RESULT Screens power back on. EXPECTED RESULT Screens stay shut off. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Gentoo GNU/Linux 2.14 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.114.0 Qt Version: 5.15.12 Kernel Version: 6.6.10-gentoo-dist-hardened (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core Processor Memory: 62.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Product Name: B550M DS3H ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I've not been able to reproduce this in Sway via: swaymsg "output * dpms off" I can not reproduce this on a laptop with an Intel GPU with the same Plasma binary packages installed (i.e. the executables are the same between the two). I am not sure where to look for the wakeup cause. I have tried searching through the user journal, but to no avail.
I've also updated to Plasma 5.92.0 to test (and will continue testing :-) ), and I can still reproduce the issue via the same process. Operating System: Gentoo GNU/Linux 2.14 KDE Plasma Version: 5.92.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.248.0 Qt Version: 6.6.1 Kernel Version: 6.6.12-gentoo-dist-hardened (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core Processor Memory: 62.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

Seems similar to bug 480093, which btw (just an observation, not necessarily meaningful) is also using a discrete AMD GPU.
Created attachment 165198 [details] KWin Support Information The bug you mentioned inspired me to try unplugging one of the monitors and running Turn Off Screen again. That worked. I unpluggged the HDMI-A-1 cable. So, here's the screens section of the Window Manager section of the Info Center: Screens ======= Active screen follows mouse: yes Number of Screens: 2 Screen 0: --------- Name: DP-3 Enabled: 1 Geometry: 1920,0,1920x1080 Scale: 1 Refresh Rate: 60000 Adaptive Sync: incapable Screen 1: --------- Name: HDMI-A-1 Enabled: 1 Geometry: 0,0,1920x1080 Scale: 1 Refresh Rate: 74973 Adaptive Sync: automatic I'll attach the full thing too.
Here's another observation, with the Display Configuration settings pane open, when the screen turns off, the settings pane notifies me that 'An output has been removed. Settings have been reloaded.' So, my new pet theory is that the screen turning off gets reported as unplugged, which registers as activity, maybe.
ah, here's info about the actual outputs, I just noticed the above lacks it, my bad interface: 'kde_output_device_v2', version: 6, name: 73 interface: 'wl_output', version: 4, name: 74 name: DP-3 description: HP Inc.

I cannot seem to reproduce this on the aforementioned laptop either.
I was having this exact same issue for a while now. I finally found the cause (in my setup, at least) My dell monitor has an "Input Auto Select" feature, and when it's enabled, it causes a feedback loop that constantly re-wakes the displays. I figured this out from a post on stackexchange: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/754364 > I dealt with this problem and it turned out that my monitor was set to "auto" for source. and each time the monitor was powered off via dpms, when it cycled for a new source it turned the monitor back on. I set the source from auto to the dedicated source (HDMI) and the problem was solved.

The monitor I'm using is a Dell S2721NX

I'm on Kubuntu 20.04 with KDE Plasma / kwin version 5 (specifically 5.24.7) and I'm observing what I believe to be the same issue. Would that issue already have been present in v5 and, if so, could we backport the fix to the v5 series?
At this point it's not certain that another Plasma 5.27 release will be made. If it does get another release, maybe
