--- Begin Message ---Package: hplip-gui Version: 3.9.12-2 Severity: important Severe performance degradation occurs from time to time. I've learned to check '.xsession-errors' and sometimes find: Unable to lock /home/username/.hplip/hp-systray.lock. Is hp-systray already running? But no attempt was made to start a second hp-systray. I can't tell what else was running in the system when the loop started because there are no timestamps in .xsession-errors. I suspect that hal and/or python upgrades may have something to do with the problem but am not sure. hp-check.log is attached. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages hplip-gui depends on: ii dbus-x11 1.2.20-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii gksu 2.0.2-2+b1 graphical frontend to su ii hplip 3.9.12-2 HP Linux Printing and Imaging Syst ii hplip-cups 3.9.12-2 HP Linux Printing and Imaging - CU ii python-qt4 4.6-1 Python bindings for Qt4 ii python-qt4-dbus 4.6-1 DBus Support for PyQt4 ii python-reportlab 2.3-1 ReportLab library to create PDF do Versions of packages hplip-gui recommends: ii xsane 0.996-3 featureful graphical frontend for hplip-gui suggests no packages. -- no debconf informationhp-check[8053]: info: : Initializing.

--- Begin Message ---Version: 3.21.2+dfsg0-1 This bug looks like an upstream bug. Unfortunately HP is no longer willing to maintain this software properly and does not even provide a public bug tracker. Therefore it is not possible to forward this bug anywhere and emails to their support just land in a black hole. In case this bug is still present in the latest version of hplip, please provide a patch. Thorsten
