SUMMARY Normally I would find two sliders (one for each monitor) in the brightness applet to change monitor brightness. When the display gets powered off (either after just locking or full sleep), the slider for one of the display (always the same) is missing, while the other works normally. Plugging, unplugging, powering off the displays, etc. does nothing, but logging out and in from plasma fixes the issue. The issue doesn't occur every time, but does occur. The issue doesn't seem to occur if the display is connected over hdmi instead of displayport, but I can confirm it doesn't always happen. It is not a `ddc` issue as the `ddcutil` command still works STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have an "LG HDR WFHD" monitor connected via displayport 2. Suspend and resume 3. Check if the slider is still there 4. Retry until its not OBSERVED RESULT The slider is gone EXPECTED RESULT The slider should still be there SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.14.9-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core Processor Memory: 31.0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX Vega ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The output of `ddcutil detect` is > Invalid display > I2C bus: /dev/i2c-3 > DRM connector: card1-HDMI-A-1 > EDID synopsis: > Mfg id: MST - MS Telematica > Model: MStar Demo > Product code: 48 (0x0030) > Serial number: > Binary serial number: 1 (0x00000001) > Manufacture year: 2012, Week: 10 > DDC communication failed.

This behavior had been reported in bug 482713 It was supposed to be fixed with ddcutil 2.2.1 or later Can you provide us the ddctutil version on your system? ddcutil -V Thanks
I have version 2.1.4, apparently ddcutil 2.2.1 hasn't been released yet, and even 2.2.0 is not on fedora yet. I'll close this as duplicate and wait for 2.2.1 before reopening if still present. thanks *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 482713 ***
