Using sudo is what's giving you the problem. It sorta kinda su's you into the root user, which is not the account you ssh'd into, and the authentication fails. Try this instead from the command line - #> /bin/sh /usr/bin/synaptic-pkexec That will bring up the authentication window so you can enter your password. Running synaptic by itself in a non-root account will not let you do anything other than look at the packages, or search.
