Hello everybody, I am currently using Opensuse Tumbelweed with an external monitor. Every thing works as expected until I plug in the power cable at that point my external monitor goes black.
I have a dual boot with debian 12 running plasma 5. I worked normally, so it safe to assume that it is a software problem. To further narrow down, I live booted into kde neon, which also has plasma 6. It worked okayish. There were fluctuations but the screen did not go completely black. I also noticed a message on my monitor when it goes black that previously skipped my attention. It said that either my resolution or the refresh rate has changed. I more inclined to believe that this is a plasma 6 bug. Any help?
If it works on neon, it might be a Tumbleweed bug, just a guess.
It was just a Xorg problem.
I have the same problem in latest TW and Plasma 6. Screen goes blank every time UPS goes to battery, cable powered off. Very boring! As electricity is very unstable, it blinks every few seconds. Definitely software problem. How to solve this?
Could You clarify please: how to solve this?!
Means that you need start the session in sddm selecting above Wayland instead of X11.

I can’t do this until Wayland session restore will be there. Think need to fix Plasma or X11.
P.S. Why I can’t include links into posts???!!!
This have an earlier version for Plasma 6.4 (before will land 6.3.5).
For your issue maybe the best is open a bug in the bugzilla of KDE but is more possible than arrives before 6.4.
Regards
PS: I have 1 week or two in forum and I can put a link of Nate Graham’s blog.

Plugged off USB cable which controls UPS state - still happens. So seems hardware problem.
