Post-installation steps for Slackware ------------------------------------- 1. Enable the TLP initialization script TLP applies its settings at boot through /etc/rc.d/rc.tlp. To enable it: # chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.tlp You may start it immediately with: # /etc/rc.d/rc.tlp start 2. ACPI event handling Automatic switching between AC and battery power requires acpid: # chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.acpid # /etc/rc.d/rc.acpid start 3. Configuration System configuration is read from: /etc/tlp.conf /etc/tlp.d/*.conf The upstream defaults are in: /usr/share/tlp/defaults.conf A template is installed as /etc/tlp.conf.new for administrator review. 4. tlpctl removed The upstream tool "tlpctl" is not included because it depends on power-profiles-daemon, which requires systemd and is not available on Slackware. 5. Notes for upgrades If an existing /etc/rc.d/rc.tlp is present, the new version will be installed as rc.tlp.new. Review and merge changes as needed.
