Have you tried looking thru the application logs or starting the desktop session with "startx" console. This way you'll get some text that may give a hint on why doesn't synaptic start.
To access a console you simply type "ALT+Fx". Possibly that the 2nd one is already used so doing Alt+F4 shall do it. After simply log on with username and password. Type "startx" in the shell. You'll see a bunch of text and a graphic screen start. Do ALT+F4 Look at the last line of text Go back to your graphic screen (depending on how your system is configured, it shall be that last screen so use ALT+Fx going up to it). Click to start synaptic Go back to console #4 (Alt+F4) See if there's new text on screen.... You can also do a dmesg from a xterm and see if there's something added... It's hard for anyone to understand what bugs you may have if you don't give us more information or give us a way to reproduce it somehow (without resorting to installing Windows)... Did I understand you run Debian with Linux subsystem for Windows or something with a similar name ? -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
