Hi,

I want to install boinc on 200 linux debian wheezy pc's
I use backports debian repo to get boinc 7.0.27

But boinc never start computing.
It alwas says 'computer is in use' even when computer is idle for a long time.

I use boinc on public PC so i need idle detection working fine.

I found this on google, but no solution at this time!

The fix for the (USB) idle detection is in BOINC 7.0.29 (Changelog). So either use Berkeley BOINC, or update via RPM (to 7.0.65).
