Description
Is this a new report?
Yes
System Info
Linux gadell 6.11.7-300.fc41.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Nov 8 19:23:10 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Package(s) Affected
lxqt-powermanagement-2.0.0-1.fc41.x86_64
Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
No response
Expected behaviour
After idle time, the system is expected to suspend.
Actual behaviour
After idle time (and also lot more), the system doesn't suspend ...
Starting from commandline:
$ lxqt-powermanagement
kf.idletime: Could not find any system poller plugin
qt.core.qobject.connect: QObject::connect(KAbstractIdleTimePoller, KIdleTime): invalid nullptr parameter
qt.core.qobject.connect: QObject::connect(KAbstractIdleTimePoller, KIdleTime): invalid nullptr parameter
Steps to reproduce
-
stop the usual daemon (started by system) doing
$ killall lxqt-powermanager -
Start the tool
$ lxqt-powermanagement -
wait for idle-time (in my case: 1 minute), and see it doesn't suspend.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the report with lxqt-powermanager stopped, then launch lxqt-powermanagement and observe the reported KIdleTime poller errors after the idle interval. Trace the idle-time and suspend behavior from that entry point; done means the configured idle action occurs reliably without those errors.
