Support
There is no dedicated TLP support forum yet. For general questions on how to install, configure or use TLP, please visit your favorite Linux forum. For ThinkPad battery specific issues please ask for advice in a ThinkPad or hardware oriented forum.
Important
Before asking for support, please check Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Guide first.
Necessary Information
When asking for support, always provide the full output of
sudo tlp-stat
completed by the information with which power source – AC and/or battery – the problem occurs.
Bug Reports
Bug reports may be filed via the issue tracker.
Important
Please read the Bug Reporting Howto first.
Note
Submit corrections to this website via the tlp-doc GitHub repo.
Trace Mode
To examine suspected problems in TLP more closely, activate trace mode in Config Files:
TLP_DEBUG="arg bat disk lock nm path pm ps rf run sysfs udev usb"
The accumulated trace data may be read at any time with
sudo tlp-stat -T
(r)syslog
In case the trace output is missing, you have to modify your syslog configuration. For rsyslogd create the file /etc/rsyslog.d/90-debug.conf* containing
*.=debug;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
news.none;mail.none -/var/log/debug
and restart the daemon
sudo /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart
systemd
No prerequisites, TLP uses journald for trace data.
