Sorry, I've forgotten to post earlier: - the problem doesn't exist anymore in 8.04 since an update I don't remember well, but securly a few months ago. - the problem did never exist on 8.10, running on my laptop.
I had the same upgrade/update history and the same synaptic problem on laptop and on my PC, but I didn't do the upgrade to 8.10 on the PC because of using it as my Notes Domino Server. -- synaptic not starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
