Re: Synaptic won't start.

Hi All & Terry,

whom typed....

Since my upgrade to KDE 3.1, I have had no problems with Synaptic.  Then
yesterday, it stopped initializing.  The only thing I can think of that
has changed recently on the setup is the move from GDM to KDM.  Here is
the output I get when trying to start from the command line.  I looks as
though some Gnome component is missing.  I had just the minimum install
of Libranet, then performed apt-get to KDE 3.1 off Sid.

Thanks for help!

Enter as non-root "xhost local:root"

Now, as root, you should have access to Synaptic. 

*HTH*
