When starting TLP with the default configuration, some USB devices such as audio DACs will be powered down when running on battery due to TLP's autosuspend feature. For a full explanation of options see: TLP settings. The configuration file is located at /etc/tlp.conf and provides a largely optimized power saving by default. slimbookbattery AUR is a different GTK interface that works with additional drivers like AMD and NVIDIA.

tlpui-git AUR is a GTK user interface for TLP written in Python.See the TLP FAQ, section "Which external kernel module do I need for my ThinkPad?", for details.Ĭontrolling the charge thresholds using D-Bus without root privileges is possible using threshy AUR and its example Qt user interface threshy-gui AUR. Use acpi_call-dkms if not running kernels from official repositories. acpi_call – acpi-call is needed for battery charge thresholds and recalibration on Sandy Bridge and newer models (X220/T420, X230/T430 et al.).tp_smapi – tp-smapi is needed for battery charge thresholds, recalibration and specific status output of tlp-stat.charge thresholds and recalibration, install the following package(s): One should also mask the service rvice and socket systemd-rfkill.socket to avoid conflicts and assure proper operation of TLP's radio device switching options.įor advanced battery functions, i.e. When using the Radio Device Wizard ( tlp-rdw), it is required to use NetworkManager and enabling rvice.

Installing the optional dependencies may help provide additional power saving.
