https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356132 Bug ID: 356132 Summary: Starting KDE causes with power widget causes screen brightness to go to 0 Product: plasmashell Version: master Platform: Kubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Battery Monitor Assignee: kde@privat.broulik.de Reporter: chathaway@logrit.com CC: plasma-bugs@kde.org Adding the Battery Monitor widget to my plasma desktop causes the screen brightness to drop to 0 when first logging in; this is a huge problem because this particular laptop turns off the screen at 0. It would be helpful if it kept the last setting, used the value specified in the power management settings, or set it a non-zero value (such as 1). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add widget to desktop 2. Log out 3. Log back in Actual Results: The screen was blank (literally turned off); work around is to guess at where the slider to adjust brightness is, or to plug and unplug the charger. Expected Results: The battery monitor should have kept the brightness it was at the last time KDE was quit.
