Bug ID: 456966
Summary: Failed to start Powerdevil on AMD Rembrandt
Product: Powerdevil
Version: 5.25.3
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: david.18.19...@gmail.com
CC: m...@ratijas.tk
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Sometimes when logging into a user, instead of displaying the splash screen
followed by the desktop, the screen will have no output for ~15 seconds before
displaying the splash screen and desktop (with only the wallpaper). The default
panel and any shortcuts will not work on the desktop.
Whenever this happens, systemctl logs seem to indicate that Powerdevil's job
timed out. This issue does not occur on an AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U laptop
(Renoir).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login into any user.
OBSERVED RESULT
Screen turns off for ~10-15 seconds, then splash screen shows for 3 seconds,
then only the wallpaper is shown (no configured panel will show, and no
keyboard shortcut works). Only occurs occasionally.
EXPECTED RESULT
Splash screen should show, followed by the usual desktop environment with
panels.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 5.18.12-arch1-1
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0

This issue only started occurring since I upgraded from a AMD Renoir (Ryzen 7
PRO 4750U) laptop to a AMD Rembrandt (Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U) laptop.
