Confirm on 9.04. 8.10 updated to 9.04. Few days synaptic worked just fine, now it fails with same symptoms. Interesting: 1. login with SSH and start synaptic on external x-server. prefs saved just perfectly. For testing purposes changed "store history for 90 days" (BTW, why such value? I want to have at least semi-annual history!) /root/.synaptic/synaptic.conf contains correct value of "90" "treat recommended as dependencies" turned off. And during the session it remains OFF. After re-launch number of days is same as I've set up. "treat recommended" NOW is ON again. 2. launch under regular user WITHOUT sudo. Hangs. Delete ~/.synaptic Launch w/o sudo. Hangs. ~/synaptic directory is empty. Same, but with sudo/gksu "Keep history" now is 30 (thirty!) days. Where did synaptic took that value? Of course, "treat recomended" is ON. :-) -- Synaptic Preferences Window hangs on clicking Ok or Apply https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174570 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This problem is exists only under Gnome or Failsafe Gnome sessions. When run under desktop user or root (gksu /usr/bin/synaptic).

This problem is not solved yet. I can reproduce it with my up to date Jaunty. Before I make the upgrade, my Intrepid instance also produce this error. Currently I use the synaptic 0.62.5ubuntu1. I deleted the /root/synaptic/synaptic.conf. I go to settings/preferences, I not alter anything and then when OK or Apply pressed the application is not responding. (I try with en-us and hungarian translation, with and without desktop effects.)

[Bug 174570] Re: Synaptic Preferences Window hangs on clicking Ok or Apply
My problem, back in 2007, had to do with trying to change the proxy networking settings. As I recall, everything else would work just fine. My solution was to edit the synaptic configuration file manually. Would you mind posting the contents of your synaptic configuration file? There might be a clue there. It's a text file located at: /root/.synaptic/synaptic.conf Additionally, you can try to re-install synaptic.

I found the following workaround on the Ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=530115 config file is at '/root/.synaptic/synaptic.conf' If you are getting hang-ups I would relocate its entire config folder and start it after in a terminal to read any output. Code: ~ $ sudo -s # cd /root # mkdir .backups # mv .synaptic .backups/ # exit ~ $ gksudo synaptic This didn't work for me since the proxy setting still wouldn't change, so I used "vi" to edit the configuration file at: /root/.synaptic/synaptic.conf and changed the setting for "useProxy" from "1" (which means use the proxy) to "0" (which means do NOT use the proxy). Unfortunately, I have to edit this file to use the proxy when I'm at work, and then edit it again when I return home. I don't know why the GUI crashes each time I try to use it to make this change. -- Synaptic Preferences Window hangs on clicking Ok or Apply https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174570 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had changed the settings at work to our proxy server. Manual proxy configuration. However, I normally change it back to "Direct connection to the internet" when I get home since I don't have a proxy server at home. This was working fine till about a week, or so, ago. Now the setting is stuck at Manual proxy configuration and I cannot change it back to "Direct connection to the internet." Is there a file that I can manually configure without using the GUI to make this change?
