Power daemon issue

[Romold]

Hi, I am having trouble with power profiles daemon. I have currently installed TLP as my power management software. Sometimes, whenever I startup my laptop my power-profiles-daemon is uninstalled and I have to reinstall it again. Can I know if any other person is experiencing this same issue as me ?

Hi, you should only have one of these installed between TLP and power-profiles-daemon. They actively conflict with each other. If the software you are using has dependencies on one or the other, it's more complicated to untangle but the core issue remains.

To easily copy and use either solution, choose your preferred power manager below:

Option 1: Use TLP (Recommended for maximum battery customization)

sudo systemctl stop power-profiles-daemon
sudo systemctl mask power-profiles-daemon
sudo systemctl enable --now tlp

• How to verify: Run sudo tlp-stat -s to confirm TLP is active and running.

Option 2: Use Power Profiles Daemon (Recommended for native desktop UI)

sudo apt remove --purge tlp  # Use your distro's manager (e.g., pacman -R or dnf remove) if not on Debian/Ubuntu
sudo systemctl enable --now power-profiles-daemon

• How to verify: Run systemctl status power-profiles-daemon to confirm the service is active and running.
