    fileopener = open(filename)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] no such directory: '/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tlpui/defaults/tlp-1_5.conf'

It probably has to do with the Python upgrade. I’ve notified the package maintainer to come and take a look at this thread.

:man_shrugging:

It appears to be a version mismatch with tlp and tlpui.

What is the output of:

pacman -Qi tlp tlpui

Just as I suspected. You have tlp 1.5.0 with tlpui 1.4.0 which is not compatible with tlp 1.5.0.

Apparently I forgot to push tlpui 1.5.0 to stable, sorry about that. You’ll see tlpui 1.5.0-1 in the stable branch here shortly.
