Message 98881 - Posted: 29 May 2020, 15:25:31 UTC

Hello I have searched high and wide on the internet, but I can't find the solution, so here I am trying to post on here

I am currently running Pop!OS 20.04 , which is a derivative of Ubuntu. I am running the latest BOINC version 7.16.6

This is my current setting for GPU

<run_gpu_if_user_active>0</run_gpu_if_user_active>
<idle_time_to_run>0.5</idle_time_to_run>

My problem is that whenever I use the computer, the GPU never return from being suspended. In order to use the GPU to compute at all, I need to set it to always run, which I do not want to do, as it makes my computer stutter and sluggish.

Please help me with this problem. I am a complete noob to this, and I hope all you experts can help me solve this.

Why not simply clear the settings from the configuration file, and do the setting from the manager?

Because it's always the same configuration file, whether you use GUI or terminal to edit it.

Similar problems also reported in https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/3715, with as a workaround going back to 7.16.3 to solve it. So something in 7.16.6 broke idle detection again, perhaps another update to x-server? Or don't we use x-server anymore to detect idle time?

I have the exact opposite problem under fedora 32 and gpugrid.
the gpu never goes to suspended mode and keeps running. IS it related?

<idle_time_to_run>3.0</idle_time_to_run>
Id on't see anything related to the line in the previous psot about suspend gpu.
