when using kdm on a freshly updated oneiric amd64 box, pkexec synaptic fails in a unity session (cannot open display: :0). That means starting it from a launcher/dash icon fails.
Under a kde session synaptic is started with the kde sudo program, so synaptic can be started from the gui with kde destop, but not with unity desktop. I am far away from the box with both desktops installed now, so i cannot check the contents/existence of the suspected file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/com.ubuntu.pkexec.synaptic.policy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/829099 Title: synaptic-pkexec fails: cannot open display 0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/829099/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
