Description Kai Windle 2024-07-01 16:38:55 UTC
SUMMARY
Allow Plasma to auto-timeout so the screen becomes locked, the brightness gets turned down and once you log in, there is no way to turn the brightness back up. You have to reboot for the controls to become available again

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plasma 6.1.1, allow timeout so it locks the screen
2. Once the locked screen is shown, login
3. Go to settings > Power Management
4. No way of adjusting the screen brightness as Power Management is blank

EXPECTED RESULT
Ability to change screen brightness as before 6.x update

I'm sorry we weren't able to get to this report before now. Is this still happening with Plasma 6.3.2?
