Description Gerald Cox 2023-03-02 17:43:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
This may be a co-incidence, but I just upgraded to powerdevil-5.27.2-1.fc37.x86_64
and now upon reboot in the system tray, I get endless system tray failures, saying:
KDE Power Management system closed unexpectedly. The tray icon disappears before I can do much of anything with it and then reappears.  This goes on apparently endlessly.  

If I go into system settings, power management, it displays the following:
Power Manager configuration module could not be loaded.  The Power Manager Service appears not to be running.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
powerdevil-5.27.2-1

How reproducible:
Install powerdevil-5.27.2-1 and it's dependencies

Then reboot

Actual results:
endless error messages and module not loaded


Expected results: Normal running


Additional info: I'm running this as a remote session using X and TigerVNC.  If I downgrade to the previous version of powerdevil, it works.  I do have this version of powerdevil running on a laptop using wayland with no issues.
