<p>The question is - do we really want this call here, or not. As is, it is just an expensive noop.</p>
<p><strong>Iff</strong> we want the inhibition, I see 3 possibilities:</p>
<ol class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Teach powerdevil to behave correctly:<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">do the inhibition immediately</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">keep running until all proxied inhibitions are released (maybe this is inversed - do not kill powerdevil from ksmserver).</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">somehow interact with powerdevil from ksmserver</li>
</ul></li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Take an inhibitor lock via DBus (i.e. call <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">org.freedesktop.login1.Inhibit</tt>) directly</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Take an inhibitor lock using <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">Solid::Power::inhibit</tt></li>
</ol>
<p>(3.) is nothing more than a thin wrapper around (2.) see <a href="https://github.com/KDE/solid/blob/master/src/solid/power/backends/freedesktop/fdinhibition.cpp" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/KDE/solid/blob/master/src/solid/power/backends/freedesktop/fdinhibition.cpp</a><br />
Although Solid::Power would give some abstraction, the reality is:</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">only blocking inhibitions are supported</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">only implementation is <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">org.freedesktop.login1</tt></li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Solid::Power is very incomplete, e.g. the <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">statesJob</tt> is just a stub.</li>
</ul>
<p>My preference is (0.) or (2.).</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R120 Plasma Workspace</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D22296">https://phabricator.kde.org/D22296</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>bruns, Plasma, broulik, davidedmundson<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>sitter, apol, plasma-devel, LeGast00n, jraleigh, fbampaloukas, GB_2, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, himcesjf, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, mart<br /></div>
