Power Button Sleep in Gamemode being Blocked?
Spent my entire day trouble shooting this issue and have come to the conclusion that Animation Changer is the most likely culprit. Clicking the power button in game mode does absolutely nothing besides cause a severe hitch in frame timing (leading me to believe something is being run but is ineffective). Many reboots were done, almost always after trying something new, hoping the reboot would give it fresh parameters. After uninstalling the first time my animations remained until I manually deleted them and rebooted a few times. After reinstalling decky and Anim. Changer the issue persists. At first I tried with no movies, then figured maybe it needs something to replace whats missing. Downloaded a pause animation that had worked perfectly before and it never applies. I can still suspend the system by using the menus, and unsuspend using the button. However, when I do this it plays the stock throbber with no sound. I have tried everything I can think of without fully resetting, from reinstalling to CMOS reset to updating the OS to 3.5. My setup was working for months Dual Boot, UV and OC, multiple plugins, and a week old install of miniconda. I noticed this issue today while running mprime and uninigine heaven concurrently and shutting both down relatively quickly and moving from desktop to gamemode. The forums I've found haven't found a suitable solution (I've tried) and many state the issue arises with Animation Changer installed or briefly after uninstalling.
Does this plugin change the action of that button in any way? Only promising info I have found after 12hrs so far is that it may have something to do with power-button-handler.py or bash files, this is now the point beyond my skill level. Please look into this issue, the other posts I've found seem to have animation changer as a common denominator. I'll try to provide any information that may help resolve this, just let me know.
The plugin doesn't do much, it just downloads videos and symlinks them into the UI override folder, so it shouldn't have an effect on SteamOS. However, if Decky is out of date or the plugin needs to be updated to the latest Decky library version, there can be bugs related to the plugin menus using UI components. If the plugin is uninstalled and it persists after a reboot, it shouldn't be related. I'd recommend switching the SteamOS and Decky stable/beta release options to see if it goes away. As far as animations not taking effect, make sure that the local/custom option is selected in the system customization settings for the boot animation to be used. There is a log file for the plugin, but it probably wouldn't have anything useful if the animations are being successfully linked into the animation override directory.
