Description Ben Hutchinson 2024-09-23 12:04:11 UTC 
SUMMARY
Unlike the battery tray icon which doesn't show any power profiles and suggests installing power-profiles-daemon the power profile switcher will show the power profiles which will not do anything.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Do not have power-profiles-daemon installed
2. Use the "Switch Power Profile" keybind (Default Meta+B)

OBSERVED RESULT
Power profiles (which do not do anything) show up

EXPECTED RESULT
No menu should appear or perhaps an informative notification should appear

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2024-09-23 18:02:36 UTC 
The action that the shortcut triggers should probably be internally disabled in this case. Or maybe the shortcut itself shouldn't be exposed publicly, if that's feasible.
Comment 2 Natalie Clarius 2024-09-25 02:21:52 UTC 
This is fixed in Plasma 6.2 as a side effect of the shortcut now cycling through available profiles, rather than bringing up the interactive menu. If there are no profiles available, nothing will happen.
