Created attachment 178182 [details] No Power Management Just upgraded to Plasma 6.3 and I can't adjust my screen brightness, see my battery percentage or power profile, and in the settings I can't see the power management section. I provided screenshots.
Please post the output of "systemctl --user status plasma-powerdevil.service"

*** Bug 499896 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
As a Fedora 41 user, I also initially had the same issue upon upgrading to Plasma 6.3 where powerdevil was refusing to start, so power management was unavailable. However, I discovered something strange as I tried running dnf upgrade --refresh: several KDE packages had actually failed to update to 6.3, so I only had a partial Plasma 6.3 upgrade. For me, the culprit was that I had Klassy (3rd party theme) installed, so several packages just failed to update due to a dependency conflict... but dnf4/Discover/packagekit just silently went through with the update anyway. I removed Klassy, re-ran dnf update, and the rest of the KDE components updated to 6.3. With that, powerdevil and power management started working again. Not sure if this is the exact same issue, but I've been noticing the common theme of several of these reports being for Fedora, so figured I would mention this in case it helps anyone.

That was the issue. I had Klassy installed from the Terra repos. I removed it and did a dnf upgrade. All working fine now.
I don't have Klassy installed but am still getting a battery icon that only appears for a millisecond every 2 seconds. All power-related functions are busted just as OP describes. Anyone else have any ideas for what that could be? I'm on Fedora KDE with Plasma 6.3. Please and thank you.

Make sure you have no packages that prevent dependencies from updating, anything that depends on kdecoration2 in particular will cause this problem, not just Klassy. You can check this by attempting to update from a CLI and closely pay attention to the output, if any packages are skipped then you're in trouble and need to remove whatever is holding them back, this truly isn't an issue on KDE's side, but package maintainers'.

Thanks so much Pavel, Discover told me nothing but 'dnf update' indeed told me kdecoration2 was not updated and that the package Lightly-qt had a broken dependency. I don't even recall installing that but I seem to have had it enabled. I removed Lightly, and the update blockage was cleared. My battery tray icon is back. I think the lesson here is that after an update, if things are buggy, run package managers in the CLI and see if they throw an error.
One thing I was still wondering: how does a custom these prevent an OS' power management functions from working? From this relative layman's perspective, it seems those two should live sufficiently far away from each other.

It seems keeping these packages prevented updating kwin_wayland related stuff, because klassy and lightly add window decorations and therefore depend on it. This caused a crash in a system that manages both power management and display brightness on laptops, specifically because it was expecting a function in a wayland protocol that should have been updated but wasn't because the packages were skipable.

I think I follow you. Thanks!
