I have Boinc set to run when I am not otherwise using the computer. This worked with the original version I installed, 6.10.58. Version 7.0.36 never resumes computation once it is suspended. Version 7.0.65 does the same. I found the RPMs for the 6.10.58 so I uninstalled 7.0.65 and installed 6.10.58. This works correctly. I'm fine running the older version this is just a bug report.

A bug report without much ado, as we miss the precise distro you run, plus version numbers of the affected libraries. The idle detection method for BOINC running under Linux is done through use of xprintidle, that queries the X-server for the user's idle
time.

If your distro is one that uses a different method of measuring idle time, then BOINC won't be able to check if your system is idle or not. It doesn't help much either that there's differences between various distros, as well as between how Gnome and KDE do things.

That's also why the developers of BOINC build BOINC using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
But even then it is not guaranteed that everything will work. Depends on the libraries on your system and if they're up-to-date, or updated to beyond what BOINC needs, and if they're backward compatible, etc.

Any distro no Ubuntu will have a working BOINC in its repositories. That BOINC is built by the package maintainer against the libraries available in that distro. Anything not working, is then best reported to the package maintainer, it isn't something that the developers have to know about.
