I haven't tried running mprime on a laptop, but I have run another
number-crunching program, and the fan runs continuously and it gets quite
warm.
To find whether the laptop is plugged in, type "cat /proc/apm". If you get "No
such file or directory", and you are running on a laptop, you need to
recompile your kernel. I get that error on the desktop, which is running
mprime, but the laptop has the file, and I get the following:
With the laptop plugged in:
1.2 1.1 0x03 0x01 0x00 0x01 100% -1 ?
With it unplugged:
1.2 1.1 0x03 0x00 0x00 0x01 98% 220 min
The fourth word appears to indicate whether the laptop is plugged in.
Immediately after unplugging the laptop, you may read "-1%" from /proc/apm .
If this happens, wait a minute and try again.
This is a very good suggestion and I look forward to seeing it implemented.
