TLP kernel modules not loading when installed using Software Add/Remove.

[ASGR]

Hi.

I've installed Kali on my ThinkPad X1/2G and it's running suprisingly well.

I'm trying to install TLP, the power management system, as instructed on the
main website http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-...anagement.html
but I get the following output when I view the status of the battery...

sudo tlp-stat -b

+++ ThinkPad Extended Battery Functions
tp-smapi   = inactive (kernel module 'tp_smapi' not installed)
tpacpi-bat = inactive (kernel module 'acpi_call' not installed)

As mentioned, I used the Software Manager to install the package
by adding the developer website details to the /etc/apt/sources.list
file. The Software manager indicates that the package has been
installed but I can't seem to find it in the /lib/modules directories
either. However, I haven't installed the last two packages,
acpi-support-base & pm-utils, as I thought it didn't apply to my system.

Anyone have similar problems or experience of this package?

System: Lenovo ThinkPad X1/2G
Kali: 1.1.0a
TLP: 0.7

Update...

Reinstalled the whole OS and selected wheezy as the disto version for TLP.
Additionally, I installed the packages following the Without systemd section
but still got the above not installed message.

Additional...

TLP don't work on sandybridge and newer systems.
But another utility exists that may work.
