Public bug reported: This is on a fresh Lubuntu 12.04 daily build from 2012-04-20 on qemu- kvm.
When printing, the system-config-printer-applet does not show up in the lxpanel systray. There are two issues here: a. The system-config-printer-applet does not start automatically although it is enabled in "Desktop Session Settings". b. When I start it manually I get: $ system-config-printer-applet WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-2xPJXu/pkcs11: No such file or directory It does not terminate, and does not show up in the systray when printing something. The ~/.xsession-errors file contains a lot of polkit-related errors: $ cat .xsession-errors (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1176): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `string != NULL' failed (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1176): polkit-gnome-1-WARNING **: Failed to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area ** Message: using fallback from indicator to GtkStatusIcon ** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default For testing you can apt-get install cups-pdf as a virtual printer. Thank you for your help.
