I don't know the answer but have you looked for logs in the journal
related to power?
I wonder if there are clues there as to what is happening.

I didn't. I however tried to run that auto-updater script I found on the
topic and it doesn't work:
#!/bin/bash
dbus-monitor --system
"type='signal',path='/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0',member='PropertiesChanged'"
| while read LINE; do
echo ${LINE} | grep battery_BAT0 | grep -q PropertiesChanged
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
BATT_STAT=$(dbus-send --print-reply=literal --system
--dest=org.freedesktop.UPower
/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:org.freedesktop.UPower.Device
string:State | awk '{ print $3; }')
if [ $BATT_STAT -eq 1 ] || [ $BATT_STAT -eq 4 ]; then
LEVEL=$(powerprofilesctl list | grep -q performance && echo
"performance" || echo "balanced")
elif [ $BATT_STAT -eq 5 ]; then
LEVEL="balanced"
else
LEVEL="power-saver"
fi
echo "Changing power level to ${LEVEL}"
gdbus call --system --dest net.hadess.PowerProfiles --object-path
/net/hadess/PowerProfiles --method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set
'net.hadess.PowerProfiles' 'ActiveProfile'
"<'${LEVEL}'>" > /dev/null
[[ $? -ne 0 ]] && echo "Could not change power level to ${LEVEL}!"
fi
done
Where do I find the logs?
Thank you.
