Automatic Screen Blank Not Working Ubuntu 24.04 - Wayland Regoloith 3.2

• I've run a search on the existing bug reports to make sure I'm not filing a duplicate (you can use the search box at the top left corner)
• I've read the Regolith documentation and didn't find any relevant topic

Describe the bug
It seems that swayidle isn't triggering the screen lock as expected per the configured settings in the power saving menu. What's interesting is that it does perform the automatic suspend.

To Reproduce

• Log in regolith wayland session on ubuntu 24.04 and regolith 3.2
• Set power saving screen blank to 5 minutes
• Wait 5 minute

Expected behavior

• Screen automatically locks

Actual Behavior

• Screen doesn't dim or lock

Screenshots

Configuration file(s)
No additional files configured

Installation Details

• Regolith Install Stage: ("current-3_2")
• Regolith Version: [3.2]
• Host OS: [Ubuntu]

The current behavior is the screen dims to 30% brightness. Although, what you're suggesting does sound pretty reasonable. The screen should automatically lock.

Ahh that makes sense. My current brightness is usually set low so that explains why I didn't see any changes.

Auto locking the screen is also how the i3 session behaves so it makes sense for the sway session to match. If desired, this is something I can probably submit a pr for if I'm pointed in the right direction of what to update
