After updating Synaptic to 0.53 I could not start Synaptic in the usual way. I assumed that kdesu had something to do with su and after not finding information in the man/info etc. I did a Google. On sourceforge.net I found a discusion about the bug and some answers from Richard Bos. No solution and as far as I could find out also no new version of Synaptic. One of the proposed solutions from Richard, using sux -c got Synaptic working but I still want my kdesu back. Any solution in sight? A new Synaptic without the bug?

- where did you get synaptic from? - what error message did you get? Cheers, Leen

I remove it as it does not work reliable with gtk < 2.4 (that is < suse-9.2). -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Beste Leen, The synaptic I got from the rbos site I assume with Synaptic. The error I got from Synaptic is/ was: KDEInit could not launch 'gksu': Could not find 'gksu' executable. With sux -c synaptic it works but running it in a terminal I find after leaving the program following protest: (synaptic:7440): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1827 (gtk_widget_hide): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

Have you got xsu installed? In Gnome, I had to install that, then change the menu entry to run: gnomesu '/usr/sbin/synaptic' #(note the quotes) David -- Registered Linux User No 207521 The Linux Counter: http://counter.li.org/ "The above is my personal opinion and does not necessarily reflect that of the little voices in my head."

It works as advertised after installing xsu and a bunch of gnome stuuf for the dependencies.
I have uploaded a new synaptic rpm with gnomesu, this is synaptic-0.55.3-0.suse092.rb1.i586.rpm It is for suse-9.2 though. The rpm requires xsu now as well. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
