2020-10-21 07:26:03 Mauro description BOINC client 7.16.6 packaged for Ubuntu 20.04 fails to detect when the system is idle. So, if you set your projects to run after the system has been idle for x minutes, computations will never start and remain in status "Suspended - computer is in use" state forever.
