Package: synaptic Version: 0.84.2 Followup-For: Bug #881365 Dear Maintainer,
I am seeing the same issue: if I try to start Synaptic from the Xfce main menu, there is no visible activity. If I want to run Synaptic in Xfce, I start it from a root shell process. This may be a bug in some Xfce package. Starting Synaptic from the menu works fine in MATE. regards, mike -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages synaptic depends on: ii hicolor-icon-theme 0.17-1 ii libapt-inst2.0 1.6~beta1 ii libapt-pkg5.0 1.6~beta1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.26.1-3 ii libc6 2.27-2 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.15.10-1 ii libcairo2 1.15.10-1 ii libept1.5.0 1.1+nmu3+b1 ii libgcc1 1:8-20180312-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.11-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.54.3-2 ii libgnutls30 3.5.18-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.28-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.14-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.14-1 ii libpcre2-8-0 10.31-3 ii libstdc++6 8-20180312-2 ii libvte-2.91-0 0.50.2-4 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxapian30 1.4.5-1 ii policykit-1 0.105-18 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages synaptic recommends: ii libgtk2-perl 2:1.24992-1+b1 pn rarian-compat <none> ii xdg-utils 1.1.2-2 Versions of packages synaptic suggests: ii apt-xapian-index 0.49 pn deborphan <none> pn dwww <none> ii menu 2.1.47+b1 pn software-properties-gtk <none> ii tasksel 3.43 -- no debconf information
