I installed tlp but I am wondering how would I disable tlp. I read the docs and it said to disable it you have to set TLP_ENABLE=0 but how would I do that.

Is there a different way of disabling it from the terminal.

  • Do you wish to STOP it, or uninstall it? If you just wish to change that parameter, look in /etc/default for a file called, probably, tlp, and set it there. Or look for a similar file like tlp.conf in /etc. – heynnema May 13 '20 at 20:02

Your were on the right track. You actually have to change the config file as explained in the documentation.

You must do this as root or with sudo:

sudo nano /etc/tlp.conf

If you have an older TLP version < 1.3 installed, it's a different file:

sudo nano /etc/default/tlp

To determine your version, use the command

tlp-stat -s

and check the first line of the output for the version number.

Once in the editor change the line #26 from

#TLP_ENABLE=1

to

TLP_ENABLE=0

Remember to remove the leading #. Once finished leave nano saving the file with

Ctrl-X Y <Enter>

and reboot.
