I assume you're talking about a system tray icon and not a system tray itself.

What optional deps do you have installed?
Comment by Ralph Bromley (MadmanRB) - Saturday, 14 June 2014, 02:17 GMT
Yes I meant the system tray icon, oops.
Anyhow no extra dependencies, the install did not call for any.
Comment by Doug Newgard (Scimmia) - Saturday, 14 June 2014, 02:20 GMT
Some of the optional deps say they're needed for GUI stuff, you might want to give them a try.
Comment by Ralph Bromley (MadmanRB) - Saturday, 14 June 2014, 02:22 GMT
I will try that, but if it doesnt fix I will report so.

Nope doesnt work, very annoying bug here meaning I have to manually add a link to autostart.
Should not have to do that.
Comment by Doug Newgard (Scimmia) - Saturday, 14 June 2014, 02:39 GMT
Wait, what do you mean you have to manually add a link to autostart? When you do that, the systray icon loads?
Comment by Ralph Bromley (MadmanRB) - Saturday, 14 June 2014, 02:59 GMT
Yes its only way to do that, it should load by default not have to be manually prodded.
I dont have this issue in other distros when after I install hplip-gui the system tray icon loads.
Only in arch it has this issue and while I understand the arch way is to load the system the way you wwant it via manual configs this should not be ojne of those things you have to do it with.

What a waste of time.
Comment by Ralph Bromley (MadmanRB) - Saturday, 14 June 2014, 03:10 GMT
Well yeah it is rather annoying thus why I hope the bugs fixed.
Comment by Doug Newgard (Scimmia) - Saturday, 14 June 2014, 03:14 GMT
No services are enabled when you install them, no modules are automatically loaded when you install them, no programs are just run when you install them. This is normal, not a bug. All of which I would have said earlier instead of trying to troubleshoot if you had included that information in your bug report.
Comment by Ralph Bromley (MadmanRB) - Saturday, 14 June 2014, 03:27 GMT
Err no I had it autoload on other distros as I said, and dont give me that "its not a bug" stuff as Microsofts been trying to convince the world the same thing.
A bug is when a piece of software does or doesnt do something its not supposed/supposed to and this classifies as such.
The very fact the system tray icon loads in other distros points to something not being in the arch version.
Kind of indicates there is an issue in any case.
Comment by Doug Newgard (Scimmia) - Saturday, 14 June 2014, 03:39 GMT
It points to Arch not babying you and doing everything automatically. That's the way Arch is set up. It's not loading because you didn't tell it to load. Period.
Comment by Ralph Bromley (MadmanRB) - Saturday, 14 June 2014, 03:42 GMT
Yes but if that is totally the arch way when you install something like KDE you would have to set it up each time you load up the computer.
There is some leeway in auto loading, plus it does help with respins like Manjaro.
Comment by Ralph Bromley (MadmanRB) - Saturday, 14 June 2014, 03:49 GMT
And honestly there is no need to be rude there, its a simple request to fix an issue I am having.
I would be requesting it for the sake of Manjaro users, or any other arch respin.
Comment by Andreas Radke (AndyRTR) - Saturday, 14 June 2014, 07:18 GMT
Arch won't do such simple work for you. This is your task to decide if you want it to be started automatically or not. So not a bug.
