Ubuntu :: Synaptic Fails To Run Now
Jan 23, 2010
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.

I have Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 installed. When I try to start the Synaptic Package Manager it attempts to start and then quits. I have tried running it through terminal and get the following output.
roy@Bastard:~$ sudo synaptic
sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
I get the same output for sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade.

we need to install gnuplot and synaptic manager fails because Intrepid is unsupported. I know we can update to a newer version but we cannot do it now (we'll do it during summer holidays). What's the best way of installing gnuplot (or some other aplication) on our systems? Should we download from sources and compile? Could we add some special source to our list and download from there?

I am trying to upgrade RH9 to F10. I have downloaded dvd iso image i386. The SHA1 integrity check passes. The installer fails media check due to "errors". I did an independent verification of the DVD and zero errors found. Download was from Fedora's own torrent, so files should be verified anyway. If I bypass the media check I get the message : Running anaconda 11.4.1.62 the Fedora system installer - please wait.....

I can't download anything using Synaptic or the Ubuntu software center. I'm trying to download Filezilla.
I can access the web and go to websites.
Gufw is not enabled and I've disabled iptables
Here's the error message I get with Synaptic;
W: Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/poo...etdeb1_all.deb 404 Not Found

From four days each time I reload Synaptic, I got the following error:
Code:
W: Failed to fetch [URL]. Could not resolve 'repository.cairo-dock.org'
W: Failed to fetch [URL]. Could not resolve 'repository.cairo-dock.org'
W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I can not understand what is it. Is it a temporary network problem? What I have to do?

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.

I 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?

Took an emachines T3265 with Win XP home and used 9.04 DVD (from Ubuntu book) to wipe out the Win XP and then install 9,04 over the entire hard drive. 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.

E: nvidia-185-kernel-source: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
E: nvidia-glx-185: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
I'm not sure what other information to post.I believe I'm using the nvidia 190 file, but I've tried to remove 185 and that made me have to boot up in "low graphics mode."

Anyone 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?

I installed 2.6.34 and no longer need 2.6.32-21. When I go into the package manager and mark it for removal...It looks like it tries to install 2.6.32-22 and 2.6.32-22 Generic and then upgrade Linux-headers-generic.

I'm having all kind of problems with my ubuntu 10.04 which I updated to from the 9.10. I'm doing a clean install so I'd like to have this very clear. Right now I have three users:
1-the administrator
2-the one I use for music production
3-a general one.
The only one in which I can access synaptic is user 1. My question is: is there a way I can access to synaptic from the other users? I thought that you picked an admin password and if you were on a non admin account, by typing it you could use synaptic.

With Synaptic I can not "Mark for Removal". In terminal I tried "sudo synaptic", "gksudo synaptic", it doesn't work. What is wrong?

For example you go to the synaptic and you delete some programs.And then you make a mistake you delete some another program which is tied to the system. If i go in terminaland i write sudo apt-get install --fix-missing will be installed back the program which was deleted by mistake?

I know the latest kernel for 10.04 is 2.6.35.4, however all Synaptic shows is 2.6.32 versions.How do I get the latest kernels to show up in Synaptic? Barring that, is there a .deb package somewhere that installs it?

I'm having a problem installing programs via synaptic. supposing I issue the command: sudo apt-get install <program> (and assuming the program is in the repositories), I get an error like follows:
I have no idea what this means, and googling has not turned up anything appreciably helpful. It does this for anything I try to install via synaptic, both the command line or gui versions.
The full error output is below:
