I have been successfully running Sarge with kernel
2.6.8-1-386 for a couple of months, then developed new problems. Synaptic and
Root Terminal will not launch (in Gnome or KDE). When I try to launch
synaptic, nothing happens. When I try to launch a root terminal, there is about
a 10 sec. timer, then nothing. Everything else seems to work fine.
Interestingly, I can launch a regular (non-root) terminal, then ‘su’
to a root terminal OK. Then I can launch synaptic from the command line OK.
These problems were not there after my last upgrade about a week ago, and are
still there after upgrading today (I use ‘aptitude dist-upgrade’). I
noticed a file seems to be missing: ‘/usr/bin/synaptic’. I removed
and installed synaptic and gksu to no avail. Any ideas? Should I file a bug
report? To which package? I’m a relative newbie, but have had few
problems so far. Thanks, Bob |
