Public bug reported: THE PROBLEM:
The new power-profiles-daemon package (installed by default in Ubuntu 21.04) comes with a systemd unit power-profiles-daemon.service. This unit declares a conflict with tlp.service causing tlp.service to be effectively disabled. /lib/systemd/system/power-profiles-daemon.service (notice the Conflicts= directive) -------------- [Unit] Description=Power Profiles daemon Conflicts=tuned.service tlp.service auto-cpufreq.service Before=multi-user.target display-manager.target ... -------------- If a unit has a Conflicts= directive on another unit, starting the former will stop the latter and vice versa. And because tlp.service doesn't declare Conflicts= directive on power-profiles-daemon.service, it will always be the one that gets disabled during system startup regardless of the activation order of the units. An issue has been reported to the project maintainer regarding this [1]. EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR: TLP package is not installed by default. Installing TLP package explicitly should make it the active power management agent in the system. Also, any other power management agents installed in the system should be effectively disabled including Power Profiles daemon. ACTUAL BEHAVIOUR: Even after installing TLP package explicitly. The power-profiles- daemon.service unit will remain the active service causing tlp.service to be effectively disabled. Although tlp.service unit is disabled, a change in the power source will make TLP apply the desired settings. This is the case because tlp.service is only responsible for applying the TLP settings at boot[2][3]. PROPOSED SOLUTION: TLP service unit may include Conflicts=power-profiles-daemon.service directive. This will resolve the issue in the current setup of both services, as tlp.service is activated before power-profiles- daemon.service. Also, configuring TLP service unit with Before=power-profiles- daemon.service will make tlp.service activation always takes precedence over power-profiles-daemon.service.
