Bug ID: 500843
Summary: "Power Management settings could not be loaded" after
recent update (6.3.1.1)
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: git-stable-Plasma/6.3
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Power management & brightness
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: w...@toki.la

The error message displayed opening Power Management in settings.
SUMMARY
After a recent update (checking my package manager: 6.3.1.1, though I could
have been updating it from 6.2.x) my Power Management settings are all messed
up. The immediate effect is that:
1) my battery indicator applet disappears from the dock
2) my laptop increase/decrease screen brightness keys do not work
3) opening "Power Management" in settings displays a screen saying "Power
Management settings could not be loaded" "The Power Management service appears
not to be running."
This is the same behavior as found here:
https://old.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1iov47k/. However, I do not know what
"Klassy" is or have it installed, and I am on Arch Linux, not Fedora.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Unreproducible. Even triggering the bug is not consistent. My indicator comes
back on reboot, but disappears later, and I have not quite figured out what
triggers it yet.
I'd be grateful for any advice in debugging and tracking this down... currently
I have to run `acpi -i` in the terminal every so often to make sure my laptop
does not crash.
OBSERVED RESULT
Discussed in Summary.
EXPECTED RESULT
The battery service to function normally.
