Hi,

did you install updates yet, as this problem has been fixed already, see https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16946

EDIT: If you don't use HP printer you could also disable the autostart for the hplip applet, just tell us what you prefer.

Depending what desktop environment you use (KDE ? GNOME? something else?) startup programs can usually be configured easily,
you can also remove /etc/xdg/autostart/hp-systray.desktop directly or change it to include e.g.
Code: Select all
NotShowIn=KDE;
if you run KDE for example.
