So, if you set your projects to run after the system has been idle for x minutes, computations will never start and remain in status "Suspended - computer is in use" state forever. This is a regression compared to older versions (7.16.3 for instance). Seems to be fixed upstream in 7.16.11, see: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/3715 + + [ Test case ] + * Open boinc and set to run only if the system is idle, in syslog you will spot lots of "permission denied" and it won't detect the idle time without starting + + [ Regression Potential ] + * Low, the current code looks broken due two bugs, one permission denied issue fixed with a service file change, and the other in the detection code due to a wrong variable being used + + [ Other info ] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: boinc-client 7.16.6+dfsg-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-51.56-generic 5.4.65 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-51-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.9 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Wed Oct 21 09:17:09 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-10-05 (15 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 20.04.1 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200731) SourcePackage: boinc UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) modified.conffile..etc.boinc-client.gui_rpc_auth.cfg: [inaccessible: [Errno 13] Permesso negato: '/etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg'] mtime.conffile..etc.boinc-client.global_prefs_override.xml: 2020-04-22T12:16:59
