HPLIP - No system tray detected on this system (Bug #1453303)

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi,

Is anyone else experiencing the above error message on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
when using the Hewlett Packard hplip package?

The problem is that the code in question (
usr/share/hplip/ui5/systemtray.py ) hard codes a value for the system to
wait for the system tray to be available. This is a classic example of a
race condition error. To mitigate this, I've suggested in this bug report
that a shell variable be available to override that hardcoded value, if
practical.

I have also suggested that, if a system tray is not detected, that the
dialogue box that states that a system tray is not detected should have a
"Retry" button which, if pressed, tries (again) to check for the presence
of a system tray.

Compliments of the Season!


Ian
