System Settings - Power Management Service appears to not be running

"Config" of Bazzite I am running: Desktop, KDE, AMD (primary GPU), no Steam game mode. Installed Bazzite and tried to adjust when computer goes to sleep (default 5min too fast) and I am unable to adjust these settings.

make sure tuned and tuned-ppd are running
systemctl status tuned
systemctl status tuned-ppd
systemctl status tuned
systemctl status tuned-ppd
they should start automatically not sure what other services they might refer to (it is not power-profiles-daemon as we do not use that, we use tuned-ppd instead of that)

running systemctl status tuned it was enabled. Running systemctl status tuned-ppd it was disabled. I ran systemctl start tuned-ppd; systemctl enable tuned-ppd and a restart and both are enabled after restart but my issue still persists.

kylebaker
kylebaker4mo ago
After running /usr/libexec/org_kde_powerdevil should the theory be that my original issue would go away?
HikariKnight
HikariKnight4mo ago
yes, as i dont know anything else it can be at this rate so if this worked then just add that to autostart
kylebaker
kylebaker4mo ago
It did not work. Hold on, I'm troubleshooting. I think it did work and I just didn't understand. Verifying now. Thank you.
kylebaker
kylebaker4mo ago
I added /usr/libexec/org_kde_powerdevil to the Autostart via KDE System Settings and now my issue is resolved.
