tlpui update needed

[oberon-manjaro]

Since gksu has been dropped I have attempted to update tlpui. Apparently the repo has been redesigned, using setuptools now. However unfortunately I was not able to get the application working ... @philmmanjaro please have a look, thank! :smiley: https://github.com/philmmanjaro/project-sx/blob/master/packages/tlpui/PKGBUILD

We always used polkit for it. Never used gksu? Did I miss some?

[philmmanjaro]

OK, my bad. We used gksu for it in the past.

KeyError: 'USB_BLACKLIST_PRINTER'

The issue doesn't seem to be related to polkit ... What is it about KeyError ?

[d4nj1]

Hi. USB_BLACKLIST_PRINTER was introduced in TLP 1.1 (https://github.com/linrunner/TLP/releases/tag/1.1) Maybe your tlp config file in /etc/default/tlp is not up to date. Could you please check this and add USB_BLACKLIST_PRINTER to it?

If this is not the problem, please open a bug request at https://github.com/d4nj1/TLPUI with your TLP version and the TLPUI version you use.

Thanks a lot! I had to merge the recent config, now it works as expected! :+1:
