From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE Wayland Screen Energy Saving Problem (lemm.ee)

Hi everybody.

I was trying to make the switch to Wayland, but this little problem is really keeping me in X11.

The display turns off, says that there is no signal/input, turns off again but after that it wakes up immediately.

This happens either by using the shortcut to turn the display off Ctrl + Alt + D or waiting for the 10 minutes specified in the Energy Saving options.

I've found this Bug 462695 at KDE.org where it says the problem is from openSUSE.

I've already disabled KScreen 2 in Background Services.

In X11 the display has no problems entering energy saving mode.

Does anybody have the same problem or any idea what it might be keeping the display from sleeping?

My specs:

openSUSE Tumbleweed

Kernel 6.4.11-1-default

DE: Plasma 5.27.7

CPU Intel i5-4670K

GPU AMD ATI Radeon RX 6750 XT

OpenSuse tumbleweed user here. Doe this happen when it's time for the screen to go to sleep ? I think I have this too yeah but to be honest I have to check if this is only on Wayland or on X11 as well. But yeah it's annoying.

Yes, it happens when the screen tries to go to sleep or when you use the keyboard shortcut to turn it off.

If it happens in X11 just disabled KScreen 2 in Background Services.

I've filled a bug at suse. Let's see what they say.

Any feedback from the bug filing?

[–] pfaca@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

No answer yet. I have never filled a bug to suse, so I don't know if I'm missing something.

This is the link to the bug, if anyone wants to add anything.
