    TLP is available in the Ubuntu repos. Does the PPA version have something unique?

    Actually the PPA you added has no software for your Ubuntu release. As the comment above suggests, install it normally AND remove all those old PPAs you've been adding.

  • @GabrielaGarcia so should I uncheck the boxes for all the PPAs from software and updates?

    You don't install any PPA for TLP. TLP is available at the official repositories and can be installed like anything else you find in Ubuntu Sofware. And, yes, you should definitely remove all those PPAs.

You are reading old instructions off the internet. tlp is included in Ubuntu's universe repository so all you need to type is:



sudo apt install tlp


If you want to utilize the Radio Wizard also use:



sudo apt install tlp-rdw


Thinkpad users can install optional packages for battery threshold levels:



sudo apt-get install tp-smapi-dkms acpi-call-dkms

  • @Rima I run my laptops plugged in 24/7 but I've heard others say how it extends from 4 hours to 10 hours after all power saving features are enabled, not just in tlp but also in gnome / unity where screen is dimmed after 10 seconds of inactivity, etc.
