TLP power management
TLP power management
I just saw this, and I am not getting the battery life I want on my linux laptop (HP Spectre x360 13.3" 2017 model), does it work with Mint (it says it works with Ubuntu)? And more importantly, does it work as claimed, giving you extra battery life?

Thank you. I am watching it now.
Re: TLP power management
It can be installed from the Software Manager in Mint. And yes, it makes a difference.

If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!

Re: TLP power management
Wow, I installed it, configured it like the video showed and now instead of 3-4 hours, I show over 7 hours of battery life!

Extract it after download.
Open the extracted folder.
Right click and open terminal.
sudo python3 -m tlpui
Re: TLP power management
Thank you.
Re: TLP power management
That works... but after I close it, how do I start it again? Is there any non-terminal way? It seems rather clumsy to open a terminal in order to open a GUI program, so there is probably an easier way.dark wrote: ⤴Sat Oct 27, 2018 2:57 amhttps://github.com/d4nj1/TLPUI/archive/master.zip

Thanks. Not exactly the kind of thing I had in mind, but I'm sure some people will find it useful.
