Bug Description
System: Kubuntu 15.04 64bit
Actions:
1. Install hplip based on instructions from hplip site.
2. Log out or reboot.
3. Log in.
Result:
1. The error "No system tray detected on this system" is received.
2. hplip can clearly be seen in the system tray and is responsive.
3. Clicking "Ok" causes the working hlpip to exit.
Expected:
1. hplip to not error when system tray is available.
Other observations
1. Manually running "hp-system -x" works without issue.
2. "sni-qt" is installed.
To post a comment you must log in.
Workaround: autostart/ hp-systray. desktop" in a text editor.
Open "/etc/xdg/
Change line 7 from:
Exec=hp-systray -x
to:
Exec=sleep 15 && hp-systray -x
You may need to adjust the amount of sleep time depending on the speed of your PC.
This means that hp-systray will not actually start until well after the system tray is available, thus avoiding whatever bug is causing the problem.
