monitor power saving in fc37/wayland/plasma 5.27.0 not working about fedora-copr-kde5

You can check if powerdevil service journal contains errors:

journalctl --user -u plasma-powerdevil.service

Also you can try to restart it and check if it helps:

systemctl --user restart plasma-powerdevil.service

well, yes, plenty of nasty messages

journalctl -b 0 --user -u plasma-powerdevil.service

[slartibart70]

you probaly heard of this
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462695

This has been fixed on Fedora here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kf5-kidletime/c/2a096ad8d7e9ab9a838156021991d86e76971117?branch=rawhide
It will take a few minutes/hours to reach the stable servers.
For those who want it now, you can use our COPR: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/kdesig/kde/

Could you integrate this as well in your copr?

[slartibart70]

sorry, you did already

Yes, I can't find issue yesterday (6f9c47c).

Strange enough that this dependency is not required by CMakeLists.txt.
