"While on battery" toggle not working

[wvm4]

On lenovo ideapad 5 pro running ubuntu 23.10, does not pause when on battery power.

local logs sometimes show "has battery" as false and sometimes as true, not sure if it changes depending on if AC power is connected or depending on which WU the log is part of; most recent one had GPU WU as false and CPU WU as true.

On battery is always false.

Web interface machine details shows both as false, while on battery is set to false.

The messages from the core about the battery status are not important. E.g. those prefixed with something like 00:20:23:I1:WU2:. The WU part indicates it's from the core not the client. The only battery messages that matter are those from the client which you can see at the beginning of the log in the first "info" block.

What do you see when you run this command?:

ls /sys/class/power_supply

[wvm4]

This: wvm@laptop:~$ ls /sys/class/power_supply ADP0 BAT0

[wvm4]

Just checked the first info block in the logs and that one has "Has Battery" as false:

Thanks for the feedback. The issue is that the client is looking for the name AC or AC0 instead of ADP0. I've updated the code. The v8.3.15 release will have this fix. Unfortunately, I don't have any way to test it so please report back. The new alpha release will be available with in the next hour.

[wvm4]

Thanks, will do later today

[jcoffland]

v8.3.15 is available now. https://foldingathome.org/alpha/

[wvm4]

Doesn't seem to be fixed yet, "Has Battery" is still false and it still continues to fold when I remove AC power. Don't see any other changes in the logs.

[jcoffland]

Can you post the output of these commands?:

cat /sys/class/power_supply/ADP0/type
cat /sys/class/power_supply/ADP0/online
cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/type

[wvm4]

Here you go: wvm@laptop:~$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/ADP0/type && cat /sys/class/power_supply/ADP0/online && cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/type Mains 1 Battery

[wvm4]

This was with AC connected, if I disconnect it before the command the 1 becomes a 0

[jcoffland]

That just how it's supposed to work. Must be something else.

[jcoffland]

I think I've fixed it this time. Try v8.3.16: https://foldingathome.org/alpha/

[wvm4]

Yes, it works now

[jcoffland]

Great. Thanks for the report and testing.
