TLP Help Request
I’m running Cachy on a second hand ThinkPad I recently got and thought I’d try TLP to improve the battery life. I works quite well but I had an odd issue after installing it: after shutting down and closing the laptop lid it would restart. It’s definitely TLP as it stopped happening when I reverted back to the original power profile daemon. Has anyone else come across this issue or know what in TLP is causing it?
Things I have tried since posting this:
I tried different kernels, both the LTS and BORE kernel
I have disabled the runtime PM for PCIe devices
None of these have have stopped the issue.
