  • Yes, I installed hplip; the problem is not the printer. Some explanation: The full pop-up starting Oneiric-desktop-choice Gnome", or "Cinnamon" is: "No system tray detected on this system. Unable to start, exiting ."

In your start up programs there is a line regarding starting hplip.
Change ...



sh -c "sleep 15; exec hp-systray"


to



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


and the problem is gone.



hplip is expecting a system tray and that got removed (and was changed into notification area). All this does is postpone startup of hp-systray so if your system is slow to respond this notice might come back and bite you again.



Found it here on Bugzilla (has a fix released on 2011.11.25 (...)).
Besides the bug I found the following sources: Linuxquestions, Ubuntuforums

    I had this error on every boot on ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver after installing the drivers for my HP printer.



    I just deleted the file



    /etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop


    to get rid of the problem.

      note: you can navigate to "/etc/xdg/autostart"



      then look for the file: "hplip-systray.desktop"



      In the meantime open a terminal and login as root.



      write in terminal:



      sudo rm -R



      then drag "hplip-systray.desktop" file and drop in treminal and hit enter. that's all.



      note: or simply login as root in terminal and write:



      sudo rm -R hplip-systray.desktop



      and hit enter

                I had this error on every boot on ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver after installing the drivers for my HP printer.



                I just deleted the file



                /etc/xdg/autostart/hplip-systray.desktop


                to get rid of the problem.

                        note: you can navigate to "/etc/xdg/autostart"



                        then look for the file: "hplip-systray.desktop"



                        In the meantime open a terminal and login as root.



                        write in terminal:



                        sudo rm -R



                        then drag "hplip-systray.desktop" file and drop in treminal and hit enter. that's all.



                        note: or simply login as root in terminal and write:



                        sudo rm -R hplip-systray.desktop



                        and hit enter
