Purging and reinstalling did not help in this system, I had similar
issue on another one and that fixed it.
Synaptic throws false positive on root password and will not start.
The root password is correct and these are the errors in terminal:
ckosloff@crosshair:~$ su
Password:
root@crosshair:/home/ckosloff# synaptic
No protocol specified
** (synaptic:3056): WARNING **: Could not open X display
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
(synaptic:3056): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
root@crosshair:/home/ckosloff# exit
The failed processes are synaptic-pkexec and pkexec.

Please help.
