Annoying -- the developers over at Fedora seem to suggest that there is an unwillingness to provide support for any GUI that runs as root. Surely a problem for many admin tools like this?
Workaround is easy though: command-line: xhost + && sudo synaptic && xhost - Probably there is something similar that could be done to change the launcher for synaptic, along similar lines? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1712089 Title: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyUnable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1712089/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
