[Bug 307786] Re: Synaptic crashes and will not boot after
ok. 2 different ways immediately spring to mind. 1st way. Open a terminal window Apps - Accessories - Terminal (as you know) type in su for super-user - this gives you 'root privileges' enter the root password, if you can't remember this use the 2nd way now type in dpkg --configure -a 2nd way Open a terminal window Apps - Accessories - Terminal (as you know) type in sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo cheats your way into running a command as though you were the superuser, it turns a blind eye to the fact that you arent. It's good for one-off commands such as the one given. Also it means you don't need the root password (at least not in Ubuntu but some other distros would require it.) enter your user password I haven't got a clue what dpkg --configure -a did when i tested it on my machine, i checked through which repositories it looks up but couldn't see any change.

Errr, that cleared up when i used 'Ctrl -' a few times. I looked up the dpkg help by typing dpkg --help and still don't kow what it did, lol, but at least its updating happily so i'm not worried. The last line in the help file said Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management. which might be worth trying from the terminal window, if you have further problems. -- Synaptic crashes and will not boot after https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307786 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
