Description Nils Freydank 2018-07-28 12:50:56 UTC
Hi,

upgrading spidermonkey to slot 52 (due to an polkit upgrade) and depcleaning of slot 0 afterwards broke powerdevils brightness control in KDE Plasma 5.

The relevant output message was "powerdevil: The profile  "AC" tried to activate "BrightnessControl" a non-existent action. This is usually due to an installation problem, or to a configuration problem, or simply the action is not supported".

The only workaround I found so far was to manually reinstall spidermonkey:0.

I tried other spidermonkey versions, but the mentioned error message remained for the remaining slots.

My ouptut of "emerge --info spidermonkey powerdevil upower":

Comment 1 Nils Freydank 2018-07-28 14:31:28 UTC
For the record, I needed to fall back to polkit-0.113-r4, the last version with a spidermonkey:0 dep, kill the running instance by hand, and then starting powerdevil again.
Comment 2 Nils Freydank 2018-07-28 14:54:26 UTC
Might be a polkit bug (and not really a powerdevil related one) as I wasn't able to mount SD cards etc. before a downgrade (and restart of polkitd) :-/
Comment 3 PrSo 2018-08-01 10:59:14 UTC
I can reproduce this behavior on my machine (Lenovo netbook with AMD APU).
Moreover I cannot disconnect,reconnect or modify networks via plasma-nm.

Downgrading to polkit-0.113-r4 seems as temporary workaround.
Comment 4 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2018-08-07 19:07:22 UTC
Could you please work out if the regression is with polkit-0.114 or 0.115?
Comment 5 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2018-08-07 19:08:11 UTC
Do you both use elogind?
Comment 6 Nils Freydank 2018-08-07 23:19:43 UTC
I use elogind-238.1 and tried (only) polkit-115.
Comment 7 Nils Freydank 2018-08-07 23:21:27 UTC

> I use elogind-238.1 and tried (only) polkit-115.

Of course I meant polkit-0.115 :-)

polkit: USE="elogind introspection jit kde nls pam"
elogind: USE="acl pam policykit"
Comment 8 PrSo 2018-08-08 04:48:01 UTC
Hi Andreas,

yes I am using elogind also.

Moreover a couple of days ago I have spotted a patch from Rasmus Thomsen in this bug report: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105989, but had no time to try it out earlier.

Cross-checking in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/polkit/tree/configure.ac showed that the patch is not included yet.

Without this patch the necessary files are only included if systemd is present.

Applying the diff makes polkit-0.115 work as expected.

Please see also: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660880.

The question arise, is there possibility to include this in to gentoo's mainline ebuild?

Thanks,
Przemek.
