Hi there,
I have a weird problem going on. When I disconnect my laptop from my charger, my system runs faster. This is very noticeable in games for example. Could this maybe be a faulty setting in TLP?
Hi @lorelai, and welcome!
It might very well be exactly that. Or it might not. 
But anyway, please provide the output of:
cat /etc/tlp.conf
…as described below.
- [HowTo] Provide System Information,
- [HowTo] Post screenshots and links,
- [HowTo] Request support, and
- [HowTo] Post command output and file content as formatted text.
Please also note and heed: Forum Rules - Manjaro
Hope you manage!
Tip:
To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:
```
pasted text
```
Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:
~~~
pasted text
~~~
This will just cause it to be rendered like this:
Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.
Instead of like this:
Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.
Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.
Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance.
Additionally
If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:
LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl
This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.
Thank you for the quick reply. Here’s the output of /etc/tlp.conf
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /etc/tlp.conf - TLP user configuration
# See full explanation: https://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-configuration.html
#
# New configuration scheme (TLP 1.3). Settings are read in the following order:
# 1. Intrinsic defaults
# 2. /etc/tlp.d/*.conf - Drop-in customization snippets
# 3. /etc/tlp.conf - User configuration (this file)
#
# Notes:
# - In case of identical parameters, the last occurence has precedence
# - This also means, parameters enabled here will override anything else
# - IMPORTANT: all parameters here are disabled, remove the leading '#'
# to enable them; shown values may be suggestions rather than defaults
# - Default *: intrinsic default that is effective when the parameter is missing
# or disabled by a leading '#'; use PARAM="" to disable an intrinsic default
# - Default <none>: do nothing or use kernel/hardware defaults

Well, everything except these two setting are disabled (commented out):
I think the scaling governors,
…should be the following:
CPU_SCALING_GOVERNOR_ON_AC=performance
CPU_SCALING_GOVERNOR_ON_BAT=powersave
…and enabled (uncommented).
More than that, sadly I don’t know and can’t help, since I use a desktop.

My suggestion - at least as a temporary measure:
disable TLP (the service) completely
I think (vs: I know) that TLP was superceded by … someting else (upower is the name, I think)
Perhaps you have both running and interfering with each other.
Don’t know …
Take TLP out of the picture by disabling it.
systemctl status tlp.service
systemctl stop tlp.service
systemctl disable tlp.service
is what I’d do to check and be sure to have it disabled
I’d reboot afterwards, to make sure no settings TLP might have made are still in effect even after stopping and disabling it.
The settings are “one shot” - they are not reset when TLP service is shut down.

cpupower replaced tlp for control of CPU governor
To check cpupower for all CPU cores
sudo cpupower -c all frequency-info
To change governor to performance
sudo cpupower frequency-set -g performance
This change is not persistent so system will revert back to original governor when restarted
For persistent governor configuration edit /etc/default/cpupower and enable and start systemd service
systemctl enable cpupower.service --now

Thank you for your replies. Running tlp bat seems to bring back performance to acceptable levels.
I’ll try your suggestions and see if they work for me.
