On my distro Lubuntu- Ubuntu VERSION="15.10 (Wily Werewolf) on older Acer laptop that will only run Lubuntu. I tried older Mint distros, Xubuntu etc. For some reason Boinc runs fine and all projects work, it for some reason doesn't stop while computer active, when "Run based on preferences" checked and preference is set to stop while computer in use and cpu is in use, as always. It will only stop if the "suspend" is checked. But this breaks some work units sometimes, as in errors. It's almost as the Manager is not connected to the client, but I start it with it, add projects and do almost everything it normally does on my Mint Distros, eccept stop it. Don't know where to start here, but old laptop just used to do Boinc, as it has the dreded SIS video chipset and is pretty much useless for anything else. 1024x768 max resolution. |

I tried older Mint distros, Xubuntu etc. Also When I stop from the task bar I get the Exit Dialog window that asks "Stop Running tasks and Remember this decision check boxes and I click ok. It does close the window and and seems to stop client, but I am not sure it is. |

Idle detection doesn't work in 7.6.6. You can get 7.6.32 from here which should have code changes that make idle detection working. I'm not sure if the package includes all the necessary configuration files though. If it doesn't you probably need to upgrade to 16.10. |
