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.

It is still doing it in BOINC Manager version 7.2.42 (x64) on Xubuntu 14.04 ID: 55551 ·

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) ID: 55552 ·
