When I start synaptic package manager normally (Super-Synaptic), it asks for a password. When I enter password, nothing happens!
When I start synaptic form terminal using synaptic-pkexec
, I get:
No protocol specified
** (synaptic:2760): WARNING **: Could not open X display
No protocol specified
(synaptic:2760): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
And I am back to the prompt.
When I start synaptic form terminal using sudo synaptic
, it asks for sudo password in the terminal on entering it, it gives:
(synaptic:2721): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/..../ibus/bus is not root!
Then several messages like:
(synaptic:2842): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkNotebook 0x84c1128 is mapped but visible child GtkLabel 0x8693970 is not mapped
And synaptic starts with administrative privileges.
What is happening? How do I get the normal behaviour (Super-synaptics-password) sequence back?
