Sorry, this is not synaptic bug. Shell output of "gksu synaptic": (6x the same) GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session)
=> gksu was probably unable to read it's config file and that it should behave as sudo. It was cause by missing "dbus-launch", after installing package "dbus-x11" it works now without problems. Should this be a bug? (package "gksu" does not depend on "dbus") OR I just can't install "gnome-desktop", because I don't have Gnome/KDE? -- Synaptic menu file uses "gksu" => prevents from using synaptic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
