Package: boinc-client Version: 6.4.5+dfsg-2 Severity: important
BOINC client seems to ignore input from the mouse. It is and USB Mouse, and according to the BOINC mailing list, seems to be related to the kernel not updating a time variable. However, the mail, which was posted in october 2008, refers to a kernel version 2.6.10 or less and I have installed 2.6.26. The severity I gave is important because having the CPU running at 100% on the BOINC application, makes the system laggy and reduces usability on the whole system and other applications which do not need keyboard input to work, e.g. browsing or listening to music. Thanks for your help. -- Package-specific info: -- Contents of /etc/default/boinc-client: # This file is /etc/default/boinc-client, it is a configuration file for the # /etc/init.d/boinc-client init script. # Set this to 1 to enable and to 0 to disable the init script.
