I removed the Windows 10 Pro on my brand new Thinkpad T490 and installed my favorite Unbuntu (18.04). Well the transition was not as euphoric as I expected.
While trying to find a work around for a well-known battery drainage problem in Thinkpad T490 with Ubuntu, I tried the fix in protect battery on thinkpad T490 - Ubuntu 18.04, but I cannot get it to work. The only change in my case from the suggested fix is the TLP version that has changed from 1.2.2 to 1.3.1.
Output from sudo tlp-stat -b
:
One can see that both natacpi
and natacpi-bat
are inactive.
sudo apt install tp-smapi-dkms
, which you seem to have done. You might also have to enable the linesTLP_ENABLE="1"
andTPSMAPI_ENABLE=1
in your tlp.conf to make it work.
