Since the previous thread has been locked (that gets done very early, methinks), I'll start a new one.

I want to use the "Only after computer has been idle for x minutes" function and it does not work. When I set it, the tasks say "Suspended - computer is in use" and stay that way.

The developers are looking into it. None of the BOINC versions available at this time will have a fix. If there is a fix to be found soon, it'll be in 7.2.39 or above.

It is still doing it in BOINC Manager version 7.2.42 (x64) on Xubuntu 14.04

In your previous thread, you said that it announces the computer is in use as soon as the screensaver starts. Maybe it's just a bug with the screensaver on that OS. (When I used Ubuntu 14, the screensaver would always jack up the CPU and slow things down anyway)

Quick question, are you using Berkeley versions of Boinc (recommended), or from repositories?

The developers are testing (internally) whether or not a new method of not depending on the XScreensaver libraries helps out.
