I've got the same issue while installing Linux Mint 15 Mate 64bit version on a new Asus s200e laptop with an Intel i3-3217u processor (have been using an earlier version on another laptop previously), so I've been using synaptic quite a lot over the past 24 hours...
It fails consistently within a few minutes of operation when called via gksudo. I don't think keyboard activity has anything to do with it - I've even put the keyboard out of reach to be sure I wasn't fiddling with any arrow keys subconsciously. On the other hand, I haven't had a single failure when calling it from a rooted terminal, with or without an ampersand. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1178024 Title: Synaptic locks up during use To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1178024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
