Hi, I first wanted to use he default menu entry. -->> su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/synaptic That dit not work i tyred sudo and it worked. than i investigate little searching and find that su-to-root uses su. i try su result is failure
i did not set a active root account at installation. i use my users password as there is no root installation profiles base-system laptop and x-server-core gdm gnome-core if su is not at fault than i think "su-to-root" is. i hope this helps. greetings 2011/10/6 Nicolas François <[email protected]> > Hello, > > On Thu, Oct 06, 2011 at 11:15:43PM +0200, [email protected] wrote: > > > > After instal of gnome-core i try to start synpatic.
