I am not sure its the same bug, but using Ubuntu 8.10 suddenly synaptic stopped working. If you click on the icon it requires sudoers password, and then nothing happens. If you try to run it from terminal it starts if you run it without administrative privileges. but sudo synaptic pails with this message:
sudo synaptic [sudo] password for csevcik: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyUnable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused (synaptic:4058): Gtk-WARNING **: 09:57:26.552: cannot open display: :0 Re installing synaptic does not help solving the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42178 Title: synaptic: ‘Lock Version’ is broken; use dpkg hold To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/synaptic/+bug/42178/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
