boinc 5.10.45 wont suspend when battery linux

[stompdagger1@…]

this issue has worked in version 5.10.28, now it seems that when I unplug the AC adapter, boinc still continue to calculate even when the pref file says not to. running 64bit gentoo kernel 2.6.24 and boinc 5.10.45

Interesting; did that ever work before?

Replying to Nicolas:

Interesting; did that ever work before?

for me yes, worked like a charm

Hm, I have no problems with a 64 bit laptop running Fedora 9 with kernel 2.6.25.6.

a) Could you boot a Live CD/DVD of Gentoo (same version) on another laptop, install BOINC and try if it works?

b) Could you boot a Live CD/DVD of Fedora 9 on your laptop, install BOINC and try if it works?

It could be just some kernel/ACPI weirdness regarding the HW (a regression, actually, if it worked before) or something Gentoo specific, IMO.

Does it work with your current kernel and BOINC 5.10.28? If not, does it work with some previous kernel and current BOINC (5.10.45)?

...just another idea: does HAL detect AC adapter correctly?

Type:

hal-get-property --udi `hal-find-by-capability --capability ac_adapter` --key 'ac_adapter.present'

It should return true/false if the adapter is/is not present.

already worked with david and figured it out, the current way boinc is watching for the acpi is using /proc, /proc is deprecated, so it will probably be dropped from newer kernels. but it can be done using the /sys, I've passed all the info to david.

dave, any update on this issue for the next version?

[davea]

Possibly fixed in [15492]

[stompdagger1@…]

hello again, I've just wanted to know if the fix is included in version 6.2.16?

[davea]

I think it's fixed in 6.2.16, but I haven't tested it.

[stompdagger1@…]

I run 6.2.16, it doesn't seems to work, when I unplug it, the manager stills continue to run
