    Hi all,

    LXLE is now running smoothly on my Thinkpad X60s. AND I LOVE IT!

    I wanted to find out where / if / how to configure power-saving settings! Is there even a way to activate hibernation to save more battery power when the laptop lid is closed! On other distros I saw detailed power saving settings...

    Thanks in advance and cheers,

    Ulrich

    The menu - control menu - settings - power management, takes you to a link on the web and TLP wiki, and the last tab on the Light DM has the timer but only affects the time on the Light DM login screen.

    You can check the status of TLP on your system.
    $ sudo tlp-stat -s 

    The last six lines should return:
    +++ TLP Status
    State          = enabled
    RDW state      = enabled
    Last run       = 06:43:51 PM,  82882 sec(s) ago
    Mode           = AC
    Power source   = unknown

    or something to this affect.
    A much better read about TLP is found here.

    You may want to install xfce4-power-manager.
    sudo apt install xfce4-power-manager

    or you can use several programs from the terminal like:
    xbacklight -set 25  # sets brightness to 25%
    xbacklight --help # for other options

    or for HDD spin downs hdparm  --not for the novice-- 
    but you can read the man page by typing; man hdparm 

    There are a lot of choices.

    Edit: Sorry I don't know why the forum is making this post look so badly, I didn't format it like this.
