Indeed.

I had tried that fix from Ubuntu long ago and it didn't work...

...but now that you confirmed that it works, I tried again. And d'oh, I
had a typo in it! (NoShowIn=...)

Let's close this bug now...

Version 3.21.2+dfsg1-2 does not contain the change to
/etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop, so I expect that you get the
annoying message.

The fixed version is 3.21.2+dfsg1-2+exp0.

Have you modified it manually?

I use GNOME and I can confirm that the fix works for me: 3.21.2+dfsg1-2
shows the popup, 3.21.2+dfsg1-2+exp0 does not.

The change only fixes GNOME users; if you use a different desktop
environment, it will do nothing for you.  Do you use GNOME?  Cinnamon?
Any other derivatives?  KDE?...

Thanks.

Best regards

reopen 793675

Running version 3.21.2+dfsg1-2 of package hplip-gui, the annoying
message still pops up after each login.

I have checked that /etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop indeed
contains the line saying NoShowIn=GNOME; It does not seem to suppress
the popup. There is no other "hplip-systray.desktop"

I wonder if anybody has tried if this works? If so, please speak up.

Bug#793675: hplip-gui: No system tray detected

[Fabrice Bauzac-Stehly]

This affects a number of operating system packages of hplip.

See this upstream bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1714659

Concerning the idea of forcing a dependency on sni-qt, it looks like
this package does not exist (anymore?).

Concerning the need to add a "sleep" before starting hp-systray, this is
not useful anymore as the program now does this sleep (for up to 60
seconds), waiting for a system tray to be available.

About the idea of installing gnome-shell-extension-top-icons-plus, I can
confirm that it does not solve the issue for my GNOME environment.

To summarize, hplip provides several tools, among which there is
hp-systray which handles a system tray functionality.  However, system
trays are now replaced with "Notifications" in GNOME, and the system
tray functionality is simply absent nowadays in GNOME.  The message from
GNOME is that applications should stop relying on this (old) way of
doing things.  I'm not sure what functionality the hp-systray provides,
but if it makes sense the hplip team would have to create a new tool
based on "Notifications" that would provide the same functionality.

I doubt we can remove hp-systray; it may be useful for users of desktop
environments other than GNOME that still have a system tray.

To fix this issue which, as far as I know, only hit GNOME users, I
suggest to add this line to /etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop:

NotShowIn=GNOME;

So that the issue stops annoying GNOME users.

Bug#793675: hplip-gui: No system tray detected

[Henrik Ahlgren]

Any possibility the whole /etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop file
could be dropped from future versions if it does not work at all?

The "No system tray detected on this system." error dialog every user
gets when logging in in default GNOME desktop is very annoying.

Please fix this issue that is already over 10 years old.

There is no system tray in GNOME, it was removed in 3.26. You
need gnome-shell-extension-top-icons-plus to get it back.

Version: 3.17.10+repack0-1
Followup-For: Bug #793675

Dear Maintainer,

This bug occurs also on Gnome3 (in Buster). It seems, at least
for Gnome3, that the systray is temporarly removed after an
upgrade, or starts too late ?

Indeed, other systray-aware applications also display
errors (ownCloud client, for instance).

Unfortunately i don't know which package concerns the gnome systray...

Thank you for your consideration.

Followup-For: Bug #793675

Dear Maintainer,

  One more info: the start of hp-systray comes earlier than kde systray, so it 
still
don't find a systray (even with sni-qt) to "solve" I managed to add a sleep in 
file
/etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop, with the line 

Exec=sh -c "sleep 45; exec hp-systray"

  I used sleep 45, but I think lower values should work. In the attachment there
is the modified file.

Dear Maintainer,


  The bug is still present but after searching I solved just installing the
package sni-qt (it's a recomended dependency of plasma-desktop). I think the 
bug 
could be reclassified as a minor bug and one should add a dependency to 
sni-qt to solve.

Bug#793675: hplip-gui: No system tray detected

[Olivier Allard-Jacquin]

Hi,

I see same issue into one computer, after a daily upgrade (kde4 was
upgraded to QT5). Computer is using Testing/Stretch + KDE

If I run hp-systray under a Konsole :

log
$ hp-systray -x

RuntimeWarning: PyOS_InputHook is not available for interactive use of PyGTK
  set_interactive(1)
error: Unable to find hp-upgrade --notify on PATH.
/log

Issue look like related on the fact that this software does not find
hp-upgrade.

According to
https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contentskeywords=hp-upgrademode=exactfilenamesuite=stablearch=any
, hp-upgrade exist into Stable/Jessie , but does not exist into
Testing/Stretch

Strangely, according to
https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contentskeywords=hp-upgrademode=exactfilenamesuite=unstablearch=any
, this is exist into some Sid version:
- NOT into AMD64 version (3.14.6-1+b1):
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/hplip/filelist
- version sh4 is OK (3.13.4-1):
https://packages.debian.org/sid/sh4/hplip/filelist

So, I guest that we lost hp-upgrade during 3.14.6-1+b1 upgrade.

Best regards,

Olivier
