I have just made the eternal journey from Ubuntu to Fedora! I was wondering if I can get Synaptic Package Manager for Fedora? If so do I just type in the terminal yum -y install synaptic?

I am at a loss because I have never had this message before, I am particularly trying to get the drivers for my Brother DCP385C printer but they will not install because of this message .

Ubuntu 9.10. System has been running fine for months. Today, tried to run Synaptic and get the following error: 'Failed to run /usr/bin/synaptic as root - unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file' Where invoking synaptic used to ask me for my password, it now gives the above error message. What I did today was change grub so that I boot to the command line instead of the gui. That worked fine and I can invoke the gui with startx as a normal user. sudo apt-get works OK from the command line.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm sitting at work and wondering if Synaptic package manager could be used with slapt-get on Slackware since it's based on apt-get anyway. I haven't researched this, but I wonder if anyone out there has. I'm thinking that Synaptic looks for .deb packages but it would be interesting if one could make it work. The Gslapt/slapt-get combo works just fine for me as far as a GUI alternative, but apparently only works with .tgz or .txz. Or does it?
It would be interesting if one could install .deb packages because it would open up a whole lot repositories to Slackware including the Ubuntu repos. Don't get me wrong, I like compiling from source but nothing drives me crazier than finding some piece of software I like that ends up needing a million Gnome dependencies. I can definitely appreciate the reasons why Gnome was dropped from Slackware!
How to Install Synaptic ?

I have also installed NES emulator, but it could be found by searching its name in the Menu. I'm sure I haven't selected to only download the package and not install it.

Also I tried changing the menu command by right clicking the menu button and changing the synaptic entry to kdesudo synaptic. It did not work.

Whenever I try to install any new software using package manager, software center or apt-get, it gets stuck at Downloading for almost a minute and then the download starts. No problems with the net connections-a high speed connection to backbone through a firewall. It occurs even while updating the package repos.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have 2 new repos that are listed in my sources.list file. They are also visible in System/Administration/Software Sources/Other Software. However, they are not visible under the Origins tab in Synaptic. And how would I download from them if Synaptic doesn't see them?

I then upgraded to 9.10 using the option on update manager. I gave my normal logon all privileges, but I can use synaptic and other functions such as changing update parameters w/o logging on as root. If attempt same from my logon, PC crashes.

View 8 Replies View RelatedAnyone know what it's listed under?9.10 Karmic Koala..I'm customising all my preferred aps and use the amazing VLC for videos, I don't want 'Movie Player' there, but I can't find it in Synaptic to delete it and want it gone, not just the shortcut deleted.
Whilst discussing preferred aps, I can also highly recommend ditching Firefox and Evolution for Opera; more features, faster browsing, handles plugin videos better (no greying out), has a built in mail client so everything's in one place, etc. Tried just about every other browser, always go back to Opera.
Is it possible to install a local .deb package with synaptic package manager? I managed to trash network-manager-gnome removing it by mistake instead of a package with a similar name..... oops. So now have no network connections. I downloaded the following file network-manager-gnome_0.8~a~git.20091014t134532.4033e62-0ubuntu1_i386.deb via a computer with a net connection. and now have it on a usb key. Can I point the synaptic package manager to the local package and install like that, or do I have to do it via the console. I also have my original Karmic 9.10 disk, which I imagine has the package on as well. Is there a way to add it via the system installer?

I am a relatively new user of Ubuntu and I have a question about Django 1.2 (and now we're up to 1.2.1). I currently have Django 1.1.1 installed via Synaptic.
-Generally, how long would it take for 1.2.1 to appear in a package that I can download via Synaptic?
-If I were to uninstall ver 1.1.1 and manually install ver 1.2.1, would it get installed in the same location that Synaptic installs it?
I recently installed the KDE and xface desktops out of curiosity but now I'm left with a massive amount of extra Apps, some that I want and some I don't. When I try marking some to remove in Synaptic, it comes up with a bunch of others that will be marked. Is it possible to remove them just one by one with out any extras being marked for removal as well?
