Description
Describe the bug
BOINC has the option to suspend computer usage in two ways: When the computer is in use (IU), and when it is not in use (NIU). It is possible to enable suspension for both IU and NIU at the same time. It is also possible to set the values for each such that BOINC will never work on any tasks.
Steps To Reproduce
- Open BOINC Manager->Options->Preferences.
- Set IU time to 0.08, and NIU to 0.05 minutes. Save changes.
Expected behavior
A message should let the user know to change the settings, and these settings should not be saved.
System Information
- OS: Windows 10
- BOINC Version: 7.20.2, but I have seen this in earlier versions.
Additional context
This bug can occur in three locations:
- Manager: Changing settings in Options->Preferences - PR [Manager] [Advanced View] Add warning message in preferences for suspension #4955
- Client: Reading global_prefs_override.xml that a user may have manually edited. - PR [Client] Add alert if idle time to resume computing is greater than idle time to suspend computing #5270
- Web: User can modify computing preferences from a project.
