I've recently updated to KDE6. Whenever a big update happens, I go through my logs the next reboot to see if any new issue has arisen that might turn out to be a problem later. One such issue I see is the following:
Code:
org.kde.powerdevil.discretegpuhelper[1588]: Detected locale "C" with character encoding "ANSI_X3.4-1968", which is not UTF-8.
                                            Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "C.UTF-8" instead.
                                            If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual
                                            for more information.

This is repeated for org.kde.powerdevil.chargethresholdhelper, org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper, and org.kde.kded.smart.

My user's locale is
Code:
$ locale
LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=C.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=


I have no issues at the moment, but it sees as if powerdevil is seeing something else somehow.

Does anyone have an idea what the issue might be?
