PowerDevil is unable to power off the screen
by Ahmed Kamal
Hi,
I'm on 4.2 beta2, and my problem is that my laptop's LCD never powers off !
It goes black, but the backlight is always on. I have removed kpowersave,
which I used to use previously, and now using powerdevil. It simply doesn't
turn off. The VGA card is nVidia, and `xset q` returns
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On
Using, `xset dpms force off` does power off correctly. In fact, using
qdbus org.kde.powerdevilsystem /modules/powerdevil
org.kde.PowerDevil.turnOffScreen
also does power off correctly. So powerdevil is able to power off the screen
if it wants to .. then why is it not doing that ?! How do I even start
debugging this .. It is very annoying, as it's burning off hours from the
LCD's lifetime. Any tips are welcome

kwalletmanager always requests a password at login
by Mary Ellen Foster
On F10 (using the kde-redhat packages), just after logging in,
kwalletmanager always pops up and asks for a password. Is there any
way to figure out what's asking for this password and how to make it
stop?
NB: This is only happening on *some* F10 installation ...

Some packaged plasmoids from kde-redhat don't work
by Mary Ellen Foster
The following two plasmoids are available from kde-redhat:
- kde-plasma-runcommand-0.7-2.fc10.i386
- kde-plasma-quickaccess-0.7.1-4.fc10.i386
Neither seems to work when it's added to the desktop, though -- they
both just create a box that says "This object could not be created for
the following reason: Could not find requested component
{runcommand,quickaccess}"
Is this an issue with the packaging or with the plasmoids themselves?
Where should it be reported?
