Tlp-sleep service start failed, fedora 30, thinkpad t480

Welcome to Ask Fedora! Check out #start-here get acquainted with the server.

Three things I want to touch on:

  • Do you remember doing anything around the time when this started failing? An upgrade or similar? If an upgrade, could you post the list of changed packages? You can use dnf history list to find the relevant transaction and dnf history info TRANSACTION-ID to show the changes.
  • Are you sure that’s all the journalctl output? Seems like it failed with absolutely no output… Does systemctl status tlp-sleep say anything more interesting?
  • This isn’t directly related, but a journalctl tip: if you’re just using -r to see the most recent / relevant logs, usually you can install use -b (which shows logs only for the current boot) and/or -e (start at the bottom of the logs where the most recent entries are) instead. I’ve personally found it easier to read than -r’s reversed output!
