Hi, I’m wondering how I can activate or able to select power profile on the system tray. Thank you.
Is the service running?
systemctl status power-profiles-daemon.service
active and enabled.
I just installed EnOS on my brand new Thinkpad P14s gen 4, but found out that the display will turn itself off randomly sometimes, but the system is running. Don’t know if this is a hardware issue or software…
Does the CLI work?
Have a look at powerprofilesctl --help to see how it works.
I ran the “powerprofilesctl --get” and it returned “power-saver”. But I configured it to be at “Performance” under “Power Management” - Engery Saving - On AC Power. Apparently there’s some discrepancy here?..
It seems so …
I don’t really know what the issue may be. I don’t use power-profiles-daemon myself.
What do you use instead? for laptop power management.
I use cpupower on an Intel-based machine.
You can read more about different options here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CPU_frequency_scaling#

Do you have to disable power-profiles-daemon when using cpupower? Thanks again.
I have removed the package altogether. I don’t know how dependencies work on kde though.
If you want to test cpupower for example, you could disable and mask power-profiles-daemon.
You can always unmask and enable it again later if you wish.
Please note that cpupower is a CLI tool and you won’t have a slider in your panel for it.
There is though a GUI for it as well if I remember correctly. In AUR perhaps.
