Adam, thanks for your bug report. I'm marking this bug a duplicate of bug 1551951 because that's the bug for Synaptic not working in GNOME (or Ubuntu) on Wayland. Doug, please file a new bug for your issue. But I can't reproduce your issue here (Synaptic starts for me in the Ubuntu session on artful). Are you sure you aren't running Wayland? Does running this command produce any output? env | grep -i wayland There was an issue last week where I think gdm3 was forcing Wayland when it should not have. So install all updates and restart your computer. ** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1551951 synaptic does not run over gnome wayland session -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1704748 Title: Synaptic fails to launch on Ubuntu 17.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1704748/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
