In the last few days, cauldron plasma has broken System Settings -> Power Management. I have had screen dimming/blanking turned off in my laptop since forever because I had found that if it were turned on for any setting (battery, low battery) it affected AC as well. All of a sudden it got turned back on for all three power settings, and it won't turn off. You can uncheck the boxes in the GUI, and choose Apply, but if you exit System Settings and come back in, the boxes are checked again.

This still fails in current cauldron. When systemsettings5 is run from the command line, the following appears: [ftg@ftglap ~]$ /usr/bin/systemsettings5 QCoreApplication::arguments: Please instantiate the QApplication object first WARNING: viewBackgroundColor is deprecated, use backgroundColor with colorSet: Theme.View instead KActivities: Database connection: "kactivities_db_resources_140356390746240_readonly" query_only: QVariant(qlonglong, 1) journal_mode: QVariant(QString, "wal") wal_autocheckpoint: QVariant(qlonglong, 100) synchronous: QVariant(qlonglong, 0) Nothing to load - the client id is empty Nothing to load - the client id is empty powerdevil: ("LowBattery", "migration", "AC", "Battery") () powerdevil: "Button events handling" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Keyboard backlight" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Screen Energy Saving" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Screen brightness" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Dim screen" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Wireless" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Button events handling" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Keyboard backlight" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Screen Energy Saving" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Screen brightness" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Dim screen" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Wireless" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Button events handling" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Keyboard backlight" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Screen Energy Saving" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Screen brightness" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Dim screen" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: "Wireless" has a runtime requirement powerdevil: Loading routine called powerdevil: ()Screen powerdevil: Ok, KConfigGroup ready ("icon") powerdevil: () powerdevil: Ok, KConfigGroup ready ("icon") powerdevil: () powerdevil: Ok, KConfigGroup ready ("icon") KActivitiesStats( 0x26282a0 ) ResultModelPrivate::onResultScoreUpdated result added: "kcm:powerdevilprofilesconfig.desktop" score: 3 last: 1542388980 first: 1542388527 Closing SQL connection: "kactivities_db_resources_140356390746240_readonly" [ftg@ftglap ~]$ The desired changes are to unselect "Dim screen" and "Screen Energy Saving" on AC Power"
Still happening in current cauldron.
Hmmmm! maybe another missing dependency but I can not find which one :(

Just in case, have you tried this with a fresh, new user?
CC: (none) => jan-bugs
That works. Any idea what to change on my existing user ?
Status of this bug? Shall you remove some powerdevil config file under ~/.config/ and/or ~/.local/ hidden folders in your user's home directory? Unsure what is its name.
