unable to start origami, falsely detects presence of battery

[Ax3]

Greetings, I've installed origami on a server of mine that is batteryless. (It's hooked to a wall outlet for power.) Starting origami was throwing the:

"RUNNING ON BATTERY, NOT STARTING" error.

I was forced to uncomment:

if [[ -x $(which on_ac_power) && -z ${BATTERY} ]]; then
    on_ac_power || origami_show_error 'RUNNING ON BATTERY. NOT STARTING'
fi

I am using Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04:
$ uname -ra
Linux sapphire 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 21:01:46 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The --battery option is not listed in the man page (which was a problem also, for which I see a ticket open). Performing a sudo ./origami start -b off would have been great, but instead didn't do anything. I haven't look extensively at the start script though. Anyway, I'm wondering if there's something in my environment that is telling the startup a battery is active when there isn't. I'll be happy to provide further details if you need them.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Ax3

I too am experiencing this issue. I have installed Origami on two up-to-date Hardy machines with the same effect. Is there a work around for this issue? Please email me with your thoughts.

Thanks,

The latest bzr revision has the battery management code completely removed based on this happening far more than it should have. I had only been able to test it on my laptop, but based on this feedback it seems its far too unreliable.

The below command will pull down the latest revision which you can then replace any existing /usr/bin/origami with. I am in the process of pushing the latest to the PPA but have not got that far yet.

bzr branch lp:origami
sudo cp origami/origami /usr/bin/

Christer,

The update works beautifully. Just as a note, when stopping Origami the
terminal hangs at the end of sequence "Stopping of FAH client(s): OK". I
just closed the terminal to end it. Thanks for your help. Origami is a great
step
forward in getting more linux users involved in folding. Now only if we
could get the GPU core up an running on linux.

Cheers,

Haydn

Works great. Thank you for rolling out an update so quickly. I'll
definitely be recommending origami to others.

Kind regards,
