Power-management settings keep vanishing.

Just found my PC with screen fully lit a good half-hour after leaving it.
Went into “system settings” and checked the power-management settings
and, as I expected, there were no management profiles. “Here we go again”
I thought and logged off and then back on again. Checked the settings and
there was “performance”, the only one available.

As usual in this situation, I’d tried “restore default profiles” and
there were none.

Why does this profile keep getting lost in this manner? Where is it (and
defaults if any?) supposed to be stored?

i’ve seen no problems like that on my 11.4 with KDE 4.6.0, perhaps you
need to back level to a stable KDE ?

or, what other changes have you made to the system?

sorry, i can’t answer your question on where powersaving settings are
stored…

Thanks for reply. Sorry for late response but I’ve been a bit under the
weather. Switched from 32-bit to 64-bit because of video problem and
found this glitch seems to have gone as well.

happy for the fix, sorry for the “under the weather”…lots of that
going around!

thanks for checking in with your fix (though i doubt it is the fix for
the next person who googles in with the same problem!)
