At some point earlier, someone mentioned a gui interface for APT. I believe it was called synaptic or something like that. Does anyone know where I can find this gui interface, preferably in an APT repository? I'm running SuSE V9.0 Pro. Thanks for any assistance. Don Henson

it is called synaptic. it's part of the suser-rbos component (the same one that has apt in it) -- trey
Hi Donald! apt-get install synaptic -- me On Tue, 02 Dec 2003, Donald Henson wrote:

That seemed to have worked but when I ran it from bash, I got: ===== linux:/home/dhenson # synaptic (synaptic:22953): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1827 (gtk_widget_hide): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (synaptic:22953): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1827 (gtk_widget_hide): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed linux:/home/dhenson # ===== Is that important or can I safely ignore it?

It is indeed called synaptic, and it's available by APT from ftp.gwdg.de in the suser-rbos repository along with apt itself -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.0) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org

Is there a way to get synaptic to show up in one of the menu trees or do I have to execute it from bash every time? Don Henson

It is in kde's start menu -> system -> more programs. You may also start it with: sux -s /usr/sbin/synaptic -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

I guess I don't know what you mean by KDE's start menu (I mostly use Gnome). The only KDE menu I have doesn't have "more programs". Did I mention that I'm using SuSE 9.0? Don Henson

Than you should use sux -c /usr/sbin/synaptic (-s in the previous email is a typo) Or you create your own menu entry, don' how but I assume that is easy done in gnome as well. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

OK, you probably want it to appear in System Tools, so, in a Nautilus window go to: applications:///System Right click in the main area, and select New Launcher Use the name Synaptic and the command sux -c synaptic Make sure Run in Terminal is checked, and select an icon, now the next time you log in, it'll be available to you. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.0).

Taking an opportunity to learn something here, if you don't mind. (There doesn't seem to be a man entry for sux.) I interpret sux to be a super user x-term command, the -c to tell sux to execute a command, and synaptic to be the command to be executed. This is placed into the System menu by creating a new launcher in applications:///System. By extension, if wanted to create this menu item under Games for some reason, I would create the new launcher in applications:///Games. Is that basically correct? One question. Why do I need to execute synaptic in a terminal window? Thanks for any info. Don Henson

It is called synaptic, and one place to find it is inthe suser-rbos directory of an apt repository. At least it is on ftp.gwdg.de and others. Mike -- Michael A. Coan Woodlawn Foundation 524 North Avenue, Suite 203 New Rochelle, NY 10801-3410 tel 914-632-3778 fax 914-632-5502
