Created attachment 177971 [details] Logs from the `journalctl --user --unit plasma-powerdevil.service -e` after service restart SUMMARY Hi, when my pc screen locks after 10 mins of idle, kde powerdevil brightness sliders are disappearing for my 2 monitors and I have to restart it through `systemctl --user restart --unit plasma-powerdevil.service` to get the sliders back. `ddcutil -d 1 setvcp 10 ,brightness>` is already working even when the sliders are not there, so I'm guessing it's about the powerdevil. However I don't see any critical/error messages on the journalctl too. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Restart the powerdevil with `systemctl --user restart --unit plasma-powerdevil.service`. 2. Observe that all monitor brightness sliders are working fine. 3. Wait ~10 mins until screen locks and monitor sleeps (not the pc). 4. Unlock the desktop and observe that the sliders are not there anymore.
