Synaptic Package Manager doesn't launch from the Application Menu
You can fix it by following:
-
Open terminal (ctrl+alt+T) and execute:
gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktopIf
gksudois not installed, you can just install it. It's provided by the gksupackage.
(Or you can run
sudo -H geditinstead. But avoidsudo gedit). Change line
Exec=synaptic-pkexectoExec=gksudo synaptic.Save file and close text editor.
