I do also experience synaptic freezing in Saucy Salamander (Ubuntu 13.10) with Unity. I have two computers (one laptop, one desktop) both showing the same behavior. So far I've always called synaptic from a terminal window (with a bash) via "gksudo synaptic &". Most of the time synaptic works well for some seconds to minutes and then locks with no obvious reason and without any error message. Sometimes I can close the window but the synaptic-process does not get killed. Only after "sudo pkill synaptic" synaptic actually is killed and error messages start flooding the terminal.
I hope this bug gets fixed (regardless whether it's a problem with synaptic or gksu). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1216045 Title: Apps printing a lot of text to stderr eventually freeze when run with gksu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgksu/+bug/1216045/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
