TLPUI - 01.10.2016

The Python scripts in this projects generate a GTK-UI to change TLP configuration files easily. It has the aim to protect users from setting bad configuration and to deliver a basic overview of all the valid configuration values.

Preparations:

• Gtk3 libs installed
• Python3 installed

Start UI:

• Download as ZIP
• Extract ZIP
• Open terminal and go to the extracted files
• Type: ./tlpui.py

Current status:

• Software works but is still in Beta status

What works:

• Configuration can be read and displayed
• Changes can be saved with user permissions
• Must be run with sudo to save system configuration (/etc/default/tlp)
• tlp-stat can be load in ui

To be done:

• Add/optimize value definitions -> Extract disk configuration for all disks found
• Jump to last active tab after reload/save -> Use singleton to store last clicked tab-category (notebook_get_current_page)
• Refactor Python code
• UI improvements for better usability
• Add debian package build script
• Light/dark themed icons
