[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#635128: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 5: ordinal not in range(128)

[Olivier Berger]

Package: hplip
Version: 3.10.6-2
Severity: normal


Here's an output I got spit by hp-systray or one of its descendants :

ERROR:dbus.connection:Exception in handler for D-Bus signal:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/dbus/connection.py", line 214, in maybe_handle_message

    return Event(*self.as_tuple())
  File "/usr/share/hplip/base/device.py", line 108, in __init__
    self.title = unicode(utils.xrstrip(title, '\x00'))[:128].encode('utf-8')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 5: ordinal not in range(128)

Hope this helps.
