Public bug reported: Description: Ubuntu 19.04 Release: 19.04
Package: tlp: Installed: 1.1-2ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.1-2ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.1-2ubuntu1 500 500 http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status This is small bug that I found when checking max possible power saving of my laptop. I have set AHCI_RUNTIME_PM_ON_BAT to auto on file /etc/default/tlp: # Runtime Power Management for AHCI host and disks devices: # on=disable, auto=enable. # EXPERIMENTAL ** WARNING: auto will most likely cause system lockups/data loss. AHCI_RUNTIME_PM_ON_AC=auto AHCI_RUNTIME_PM_ON_BAT=auto tlp-stat -T (TLP debug log) says that enabled: sie 31 09:01:38 mateo-PE70-7RD tlp[1694]: set_ahci_runtime_pm(0).auto: host=/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:17.0/ata1 sie 31 09:01:38 mateo-PE70-7RD tlp[1695]: set_ahci_runtime_pm(0).auto: host=/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:17.0/ata2 sie 31 09:01:38 mateo-PE70-7RD tlp[1696]: set_ahci_runtime_pm(0).auto: host=/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:17.0/ata3 sie 31 09:01:38 mateo-PE70-7RD tlp[1697]: set_ahci_runtime_pm(0).auto: host=/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:17.0/ata4 but tlp-stat says different thing: +++ AHCI Host Controller Runtime Power Management /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:17.0/ata1/power/control = on /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:17.0/ata2/power/control = on /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:17.0/ata3/power/control = on /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:17.0/ata4/power/control = on I have found that in file "/usr/share/tlp/tlp-functions" in line 1491 is: { printf '%s\n' $control $control > ${device}/power/control; } 2> /dev/null what I think could be a problem. After change to this it starts to work: { printf '%s\n' $control > ${device}/power/control; } 2> /dev/null Could you please check this? It seems Ubuntu 18.04 could have the same problem (the same package).
