Name : powerdevil
Product : Fedora 39
Version : 5.27.7
Release : 5.fc39
URL : https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil
Summary : Manages the power consumption settings of a Plasma Shell
Description :
Powerdevil is an utility for powermanagement. It consists
of a daemon (a KDED module) and a KCModule for its configuration.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update backports a [proposed upstream
change](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/merge_requests/230) to
disable automatic suspend in virtual machines. It only applies to newly-created
user accounts - the first time a user account logs into KDE, if the system is
detected to be a virtual machine at that time, auto-suspend will be disabled by
default for that user. Existing user accounts will still have auto-suspend
enabled. You can change this setting on the Power tab of the control center, and
doing so is recommended to avoid the VM hanging when it attempts to auto-
suspend.
