Package: synaptic
Version: 0.81.2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Installed debian KDE desktop without root password ie. uses sudo.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Installed synaptic tried to start from menu
* What was the outcome of this action?
Synaptic would not authenicate.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Program to authenicate and start.
Solution:Removed /usr/share/applications/synaptic-kde.desktop
Modified /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop by removing line 171
"NotShowIn=KDE;"
IMPORTANT NOTE: I tested this solution in systems installed using sudo and
using a root password. Synaptic would authenicate using the modified
/usr/share/application/synaptic.desktop in both installations. It appears that
the synaptic-kde.desktop is no longer needed in either installation method if
the modifed synaptic.desktop menu item is used.
