Fail to autostart in Ubuntu Jaunty

[Andrey Sitnik]

I install origami 0.6.9 on Ubuntu 9.04, but after reset origami didn’t start.

~$ origami status
#########################################
current status of origami on sputnik5
#########################################
Status of FAH client(s): FAILURE
…

~$ ls /etc/rc*/*origami
/etc/rc0.d/K20origami /etc/rc3.d/S20origami /etc/rc6.d/K20origami
/etc/rc1.d/K20origami /etc/rc4.d/S20origami
/etc/rc2.d/S20origami /etc/rc5.d/S20origami

When I start origami manually by “sudo origami start” or “sudo /etc/init.d/origami start;, it work fine.
I also has encrypted home dir if it’s matter.
I try to search “FAH” or “origami” in logs, but didn’t find anything? What logs I can get to you?

I also have the same problem, on Jaunty 64 bit (without encrypted home dir).

[Nico Zanferrari (nicozanf)]

Logs dir is under /var/lib/origami/foldingathome.

I can see that on autostart it stops at the following lines:

[08:14:40] Preparing to commence simulation
[08:14:40] - Ensuring status. Please wait.

While if it's manually launched they become:

[06:39:35] Preparing to commence simulation
[06:39:35] - Looking at optimizations...
[06:39:35] - Files status OK

and so on. ...

[Andrey Sitnik (iskin)]

My logs in /var/lib/origami/foldingathome/CPU*/FAHlog.txt with fail autostart and next manual start.

Fail autostart end with:

[16:40:55] Assembly optimizations on if available.
[16:40:55] Entering M.D.

Good news.

I've found by accident that it works correctly if you disable the splash option on /boot/grub/menu.lst ! But don't ask me why ...

[Christer Edwards (christer.edwards)]

While not a proper fix it does put us on the right track as to what
might be causing the problem. I'll continue to look into this.

Thank you

Same here on 2 different computers running Ubuntu 9.04: I have to manually start it every time.

I tried changing the start order using:

update-rc.d origami defaults 95

but it didn't help.

I tried disabling the splash option on /boot/grub/menu.lst as suggested by Nico above and now it autostarts correctly.

Interestingly enough, mediatomb (which previously refused to autostart too) now autostarts as expected. Maybe it's not an origami issue after all?

Any updates? This bug defeats one of the main points of having origami in the first place.

[Christer Edwards (christer.edwards)]

It has been confirmed that this is not a bug in origami but actually in usplash. If you disable usplash origami will start just fine at boot.

There is nothing for me to "fix", and the hope is that the 9.10 will resolve the issue.

I'm happy to report that in my case the bug has disappeared with the upgrade to 9.10 (Karmic) ;-))
