[Bug 213283] Re: synaptic and update-manager don't start any more
has been solved with release. Actual root cause was: sudo/gksu communicate with corresponding applications via network. Network-manager spoiled /etc/hosts, did not handle change in domain name properly. After asigning an alias without '.domain' appended makes sudo/gksu happy and now also synaptic and update-manager work. -- synaptic and update-manager don't start any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213283 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 213283] Re: synaptic and update-manager don't start any more
I now checked with the Hardy release - still the same: synaptic and update-manager not working from GUI. It does not relate to the kernel as reported previously, it only was introduced at that time. It happens as soon as I create a true root-account with following line in /etc/sudoers: Defaults!lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn,targetpw,timestamp_timeout = 0 su and sudo work fine, they respect /etc/sudoewrs and request the target-password. synaptic and update-manager just die silently. -- synaptic and update-manager don't start any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213283 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 213283] Re: synaptic and update-manager don't start any more
addition: I just checked the RAM-issue by booting with option 'mem=2048M' - the bug persists. However if update-manager is hanging, and I do kill the process named 'gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/update-manager' it continues and checks for upüdates. At that occasion I noticed that on Feisty the process is absolutely different, it is named: '/usr/bin/python2.5 /usr/bin/update-manager' So that might be of any help? -- synaptic and update-manager don't start any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213283 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 213283] Re: synaptic and update-manager don't start any more
probably, but I do nhot have enough knowledge to decide wether it is exacltly the same. At least with update-manager it appears similar, though update-manager is called from the menu without gksu. But I have the same also with synaptic (it is called with gksu from the menu) which does not start at all anymore - I even do not see the annoying 'double-popup's' asking for password twice. Also bug 55172 seems to have never been fixed (set to undecided). Maybe it is also related to amount of RAM: on Hardy-amd64 I have full access to 6GB of ECC-RAM, while Hardy-ia32 runs in a VM with just 1GB of RAM. -- synaptic and update-manager don't start any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213283 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

still the same here after today's updates (April 10. 22:00 UTC): on amd64 the problem persists, all ok on ia32 platform.

[Bug 213283] Re: synaptic and update-manager don't start any more
** Description changed: - Hady Beta + Hardy Beta - since update to kernel 2.6.15 neither synaptic nor update-manager can be launched from the main menu. + since update to kernel 2.6.24.15 neither synaptic nor update-manager can be launched from the main menu. Seems that gksu is unable to ask for passphrase, because also in a x-term the command 'gksu synaptic' does not work. The applications themselfs work properly: in a root-terminal (I got a true root-account here) I can call synaptic and update-manager and they work properly.

additional information: seems that only amd64 version is affected.
