Where should the tlp configuration file be found?

Question

I have installed tlp months ago, and the file configuration is in home folder. I don't know the install steps anymore, so I'm asking you guys if it's ok if that configuration file stays there, or should be moved.

Since tlp 1.3, the previous default directory for the configuration file /etc/default has been replaced by /etc. So you will find the file as /etc/tlp.conf rather than /etc/default/tlp.

Source : article on Linux Uprising website .

Still, if you can't find it just search the file in file manager in the root directory (only for read purpose - can't guarantee whether editing will change the configuration if found in non-default directory. But still you can try and test).

The default install puts the config in /etc/tlp.conf.

It's alright, it looks like I have the config in /etc/default/tlp too, with the same settings, I wonder why is it in Home folder too, with a lock on it. – sticsk Jun 27 '17 at 00:22
The lock means you don’t have permissions to edit it. – Jun 27 '17 at 00:23
can i delete it? – sticsk Jun 27 '17 at 00:24
Do it through the terminal. You may need sudo. – Jun 27 '17 at 00:25
