Is there a GUI for the TLP Power management application?
From https://github.com/linrunner/TLP/issues/129#issuecomment-98478154, the main author of TLP has recommended TLPUI, which is a GTK GUI written in Python. Do note that this is beta software, so bugs are to be expected.
You first would need to get version 0.9-1 of tlp
via the TLP PPA since the version of tlp
in the offical repos is only 0.8-1 and the GUI app needs at least version 0.9:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tlp
Then, according to the installation instructions at TLPUI's GitHub repo:
Download a zip file of the repo at https://github.com/d4nj1/TLPUI/archive/master.zip
Extract the zip file and run
python3 tlpui.py
Alternatively, you can just use git
to clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/d4nj1/TLPUI.git
cd TLPUI
python3 tlpui.py
Then do git pull
or git fetch
followed by git merge
periodically to update your local copy of the repo.
