[Bug 649280] New: hp-systray should not run if no matching print queue exists
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=649280 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=649280#c0 Summary: hp-systray should not run if no matching print queue exists Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: ASSIGNED Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: jsmeix@novell.com ReportedBy: jsmeix@novell.com QAContact: jsmeix@novell.com CC: coolo@novell.com Found By: Development Blocker: --- Currently hp-systray runs in any case during deskop start-up via /etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop regardless whether or not a matching print queue (probably a queue with a "hp:/..." DeviceURI) exists. This wastes CPU and in particular disk-IO resources while the desktop starts up which delays the desktop start up procedure. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But I see no traces of python in the bootchart either, so I think it worked. Interestingly enough I can't measure any improvements, the boot time differences of full kde are just too large ;( But what I do know: right after kde start time hp-system -> 1s time wrapper -> 0.018s So there _is_ an improvement. But only use this wrapper if maintaining it is little work I would say. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Coolo, for testing you can set up a fake print queue as root with # lpadmin -p hpfake -v hp:/usb/HP_Fakeprinter?serial=1234 -E (after this hp-systray should be run when starting your desktop) and to remove the fake queue again use # lpadmin -x hpfake (after this hp-systray should not be run when starting your desktop) I will ask upstream what they think about the wrapper. Perhaps there is a special reason why upstream likes to run hp-systray in any case. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The actual issue is that hp-systray should not be started at all if no matching print queue exists because the plain startup of hp-systray with all its Python stuff needs disk-IO resources which delays the desktop start up. I.e. the built-in test in hp-systray whether or not a matching print queue exists does not help in this case. Instead a less resource-consuming test must be used to increase desktop startup speed and therefore I will use /usr/bin/hp-systray.wrapper -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So if upstream intentions are more severe than openSUSE users's needs, we have to make damn sure hplip does not get installed by default but only on user's explicit request. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I will talk to HPLIP upstream what their reason behind is why they call it now with "Exec=hp-systray -x".
