I suggest that the hplip maintainers update the file hplip/hplip-systray.desktop.in
by adding this line at the end: NotShowIn=GNOME; I think doing this will close: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1714659 (this bug) - https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1721534 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1770027 - and a lot of other downstream bugs like https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=793675 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #793675 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=793675 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714659 Title: HPLIP is not compatible with modern GNOME (No system tray detected on this system.
