Have you tried typing "sudo synaptic-pkexec" rather than " synaptic-pkexec" and is your logged in user in the /etc/sudoers file? Also you can alway just use "apt" or apt-get" for package management at the command prompt. Much simpler and faster. On Sun, Dec 25, 2016 at 9:11 AM, Gene Heskett

Yes indeed it would and I could or really should change this. I however do not have anywhere to store so that it could be accessed via pulic access to internet. Obviously there need to be more dialects added. Some *-codes only make sense for certain machines, cuttning tool parameters and
