#1 Re: Installation » Kde profiles with TLP » 2026-07-27 14:57:26
Guys Chat GTP managed to solve it. It was about autostart order. He created script to restart powerdevil after start.
patryk@devuan:~$ cat ~/.config/autostart/powerdevil-restart.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=PowerDevil restart
Exec=sh -c "sleep 5; /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/org_kde_powerdevil"
X-KDE-autostart-after=panel
patryk@devuan:~$ Thank you steve_v

Process is not alive, because it runs on demand/trigger. But it works. It changes profile when (un)plugging power source.

Thanks for your input.
What do you think about installing from source?
Script seems to be supporting sysvinit
TLP_SYSV
/etc/init.d
Install directory for sysvinit scripthttps://linrunner.de/tlp/developers/makefile.html
Edit: I installed from source. Archive cointains tlp-pd and now it running but KDE is not talking to it. Any ideas?
patryk@devuan:~$ sudo service --status-all | grep tlp
[ ? ] alsa-utils
[ ? ] hwclock.sh
[ ? ] kmod
[ ? ] mount-configfs
[ ? ] networking
[ ? ] speech-dispatcher
[ + ] tlp
[ + ] tlp-pd

I installed it from backports, but don’t know how to make it work with KDE

Is that possible to make it work at Devuan with TLP? I heard TLP is better then power profiles daemon.
