Help with TLP plugin

Welcome to our Linux comminity!

You’ll need to add the TLP workaround for ASUS laptops to your initramfs. Since Mint is based on Ubuntu, you can follow this:

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

1. Create an initramfs hook script

Create a new file in /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom/tlp-fix and make it executable:

sudo nano /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom/tlp-fix

try this:

#!/bin/sh
[ -e /run/initramfs \] || exit 0
# Set the ASUS charge threshold workaround
echo 60 > /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold

Save and exit.

2. Make the script executable.

sudo chmod +x /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom/tlp-fix

3. Update initramfs

Run this to regenerate initramfs with the new script:

sudo update-initramfs -u

4. Reboot and verify.

Reboot and check if it sticks by running:

cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold

If it says 60, it’s done. If not, your ASUS model doesn’t support charge_control_end_threshold.
