Hello I've got BOINC 7.2.33 installed on fedora 19 x64 and started at boot.
I've got a cuda-capable NVIDIA card installed.
When I set "use GPU when computer is in use", GPU jobs start and run correctly.
However, when I unset this, the GPU jobs will be suspended forever with the message "GPU suspended computer is in use".
Even when I leave my computer alone for hours, the GPU jobs will never resume.
I've tried to set the idle time option to various values including 0, without any effect.

Is it a known bug ? How can I have GPU jobs running when my I leave my computer idled ? I don't want to have GPU jobs running when I'm using my computer, since graphics become very slow.

Thanks for your help.

Please try to update to 7.2.39, which has the Linux idle detection fixed again. Until Linux breaks it again.

Ageless are you sure the idle detection fix is in 7.2.39?
I think it was adopted only in 7.3 branch...

(by the way, I tried to build boinc 7.2.39 on Fedora with that patch backported, but it seems it doesn't work either)

Ooh, you're right. It's only in 7.3 (pre-alpha).
Sorry for that.

And thanks. :)

Thanks for you replies. I confirm that idle detection is not fixed in 7.2.39. I'll have to wait for 7.3 to be distributed in fedora.
