This bug does seem to be a manifestation of [Bug 805303|https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/805303]. The fix from that bug works for me. I've installed qt4-config, and used qtconfig to change the style to Motif. Problem gone (though you have to be content with the Motif style)! I can run hp-toolbox and hp-setup now.
The Python message, "Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_style_get: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed", seems to be the clue that it's this qt4 issue. I've seen it with Picard as well, and the other bug report was originally a vlc report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/813230 Title: Starting HP Toolbox brings system to a grinding halt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/813230/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
