Bug ID: 502720
Summary: Plasma Not Respecting "Do Nothing" for Suspend Session
Option on Laptop
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.3.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Power management & brightness
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: eamonn...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
In the Power Management settings, for both "On AC Power" and "On Battery", I
have "When inactive" setting set to "Do Nothing". I have had this set on all of
my devices running KDE Plasma for many years.
On my Desktop PC and my laptop, both running KDE Plasma Wayland 6.3.4, I have
this setting configured. However on my laptop, this is not respected, and my
session still locks after inactivity. I believe it is after around 5 minutes of
inactivity. This is NOT observed on my Desktop PC, only on my laptop, and only
after updating to Plasma 6.3.X. Prior to this, it worked as expected. It
happens regardless of whether I am connected to AC Power or On Battery.
On my Steam Deck, a battery-powered handheld running the latest SteamOS Preview
with I believe Plasma 6.2.0, the setting works as expected.
I am not sure why it works on my Desktop PC and not my laptop. Perhaps the
presence of a battery is what makes the difference?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure the Power Management settings on a Laptop (and potentially other
battery-powered devices) to have their "When inactive" setting set to "Do
Nothing".
2. Leave the device inactive.
3. After a short period of time, the device will go to the Lock Screen and, if
left long enough, will go into Standby with the screen off.
OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma is not respecting the "When inactive: Do Nothing" setting on some
devices. It continues to permit the device to lock.
EXPECTED RESULT
Plasma should respect the "When inactive: Do Nothing" setting, as it has worked
on all previous Plasma versions.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- I do not have another laptop to test with on an up-to-date release of KDE
Plasma Wayland.
- I understand there were changes, though generally visual, to comply with a
recent EU law. However I believe this change is simply to display a warning,
and not to change/remove any existing settings or behaviours. It would be
disappointing if I had to put up with my device locking after inactivity, when
all of my other devices are configured to not do this :(
