I'm running BOINC Manager under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

When I set Computing Preferences/Only after computer has been idle for 3.0 minutes, BOINC stays suspended indefinitely. Activity is selected correctly.

How do I get "Only after computer has been idle for..." to work correctly?

Boinc Manager is just the GUI, saying that so makes it sound you haven't got the Boinc client installed, (better just to say you have Boinc installed)

O.K, the normal questions, which version of Boinc? Where did you get it from? the Repositories, or did you get it from here?

Boinc Manager: 7.027 +dsfg-5ubuntu0.12.04.1
Boinc Client: 7.027 +dsfg-5ubuntu0.12.04.1

I got these from the repositories.

I'll wait for updates to the repositories, installs from BOINC are difficult.

You might want to try Boinc 7.0.64 from the repository, I do remember a fix for detecting whether a Linux host was idle, don't remember if that was before of after 7.0.64 through,
(And I still don't know why the repositories are still using 7.0.27 as their default Boinc, when the recommended here is 7.0.65, and soon to be 7.2.xx.)
