Power mode toggle breaks in remote login

Ubuntu Version:

26.04

Desktop Environment (if applicable):

GNOME 50

Problem Description:
After updating to 26.04, I can not switch power modes in the Quick Settings. Well, it did work ONE time, when setting to “Performance” but after that, I could not switch to “Balanced” or “Power Saver” and trying to set Power mode in Settings is the same thing.

running

sudo powerprofilesctl set balanced

works as a workaround but this does not fix the issue in Quick Settings.

This worked fine in 25.10..

What I’ve Tried:

  • Reboot
  • Clear .cache folder

Edit: This seems to “break” when logging in remotely. Stopping the remote session and rebooting the system fixes the issue. However, is this a bug or is this by design?
