The /home was recreated by 11.2 and then I migrated application by application all data…
Why need to delete powerdevil rc files? they looks correctly as well they recreated every time if I edit them via power save interface - is there a way to restart powerdevil without log out? (I have many active windows for the moment and prefer to not stop them)
Those files are just config files, but deleting them will force them to be re-created, without any possible crud in them.
If this didn’t work, I would tell you next to create a New User and login there and see if it is the same.

will apply the same actions as if I switch system repo via Yast? (I ask it because seems there are many post about problems during KDE upgrade from the live KDE session, so upgrade from the system console will be more safe probably…)
There is no huge difference between the repo’s - I just gave you the ones that will be officially supported long term, I am unsure about kde43.
There are no issues using Yast as I demonstrated, and that is what I suggest you use. But, yes the zypper code looks correct assuming that is the correct alias. I think you can use the # also
Eg: zypper dup -r 6 (where 6 is the repo number of the repo in question)
I gave you the instructions in an order too, doing Packman last. As this will switch packages like k3b back to packman which is what you want. You can actually sort this in different ways, I was just trying to make it simple. I think I know what I’m on about so you should be ok.
The feeling I have here is that Battery widget has some problems to communicate with Powerdevil…
I think the main problem is that choosing profiles from the widget is changing nothing! - it’s likely it sent nothing or Powerdevil did not receive any order…
Finally, what I’ve done - I’ve reedited manually my .kde4/share/config/powerdevilprofilesrc file and duplicated an existing profile and gave it the empty name (just ]) - after restarting KDE I don’t see any empty profile anymore within a battery widget, but it doesn’t choose any other profile either (I mean, you see there is one profile selected, but it changes nothing :-))
Is there any other widget/etc able to communicate with Powerdevil?..
As you remember, I’ve removed all profiles before…
Then I’ve created 2 new one, just for testing - both are appearing within a Setting-> Advanced-> Power management (as well via Battery-> more…)
Removing and re-adding battery widget did not help.
As well an “empty” profile came back again
But again, the most important it doesn’t produce any action via Battery widget, so I may only remove it and seek for something else
I’ve found “cpufreq-set” to manage CPU powersaving modes and “kosd” to manage screen brightness. Then for hibernate a simple shortcut to “powersave -U”.
If you know any other tools/widgets which may help here - please, let me know!
On my Laptop I had to switch from the Desktop Kernel which is what SUSE installed by default, to the Default Kernel. This was due to powersave issues, though not quite like yours.
It could be worth a try, if you are on desktop kernel why not remove it and try default.
