Public bug reported: Binary package hint: synaptic
I changed from Jaunty to Karmic. When I select Synaptic from the menu, it is not appearing on the display. In ~/.xsession-errors I find: kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/sbin/synaptic kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running. No protocol specified (synaptic:7205): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 If I execute "xhost +" on a console then synaptic starts up from the menu.
