Can anyone else replicate this bug in the Kickoff app launcher?

I’d post there myself, but I forgot my password, and the reset email is yet to arrive :hourglass:

          **BUG**

Oct 10 update with Plasma 6.2 has significant restart ISSUE
Appears to boot then goes into black screen and tries to reset, repeatedly

help

same issue on a CachyOS partition

Lenovo Legion T5 26ARA8
AMD Ryzen 7 7700
Radeon RX 6600

Just tested this out. I rebooted my machine and it booted up perfectly, with no issues.

will be surprised if only my PC has this issue.

----that the same issue is present on a CachyOS partition seems a significant clue

What bug? Kde ain’t got no bugs! :bug: :beetle:
:laughing:

The update broke my SDDM theme, but it just failed-over to the default (incredibly ugly :smile:) one with an error message instead of locking me out entirely.

Swapped it back to breeze for now and all is well.

Appreciate all the feedback! It sounds like I’m going to wait for bit before updating.

anyone else with brightness problem ? Screen brightness jumps always at 100%. Happens for me and my wife we are both on wayland.

Brightnesss control with ddcutil for external monitors seems to be wonky again.

Check your monitor settings (on the monitor, not in the Plasma system settings) if you can find an option called somethin like DDC or DDC/CI and disable that.

Redo your brightness settings for the monitor (on the monitor, not in the Plasma system settings) and reboot.

You can also tell the powerdevil service to stop using ddcutil:

systemctl --user edit plasma-powerdevil.service

# Add this:

[Service]
Environment="POWERDEVIL_NO_DDCUTIL=1"

# Restart the service:

systemctl --user restart plasma-powerdevil.service

Redo your brightness settings for the monitor (on the monitor, not in the Plasma system settings) and reboot.

I did both for my desktop and notebook since ddcutil has been causing troubles on Plasma a few times in the past already.

On my desktop I never want my brightness to be changed by software anyway and on my notebook all brightness controls and power saving functions regarding the display seem to be working fine without powerdevil using ddcutil.

I love the new tray.

That’s right, it’s really very successful. Above all, you have more options for making settings directly in the tray instead of via system settings
