loss of Synaptic Mgr. and update Mgr. in LXLE 12.04.5 ,32bit.
any time I try to open either Synaptin or the update Mgr. 's they briefly open then close. This was after I tried to install Dropbox. I eventually had to re-install LXLE,and thats when the problem commenced.
Thanking you. katosan Acer 2800 cpu 1gb ram 80gb HD |
You might try
Code:
apt-get remove synaptic Code:
apt-get install synaptic |
I tried the suggestion ,but it said that I was locked out
|
Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? |
Since I had this problem ,my PC went on the Fritz ,but my wifes pc ,with mint 13 is having similar problems. ,inability to update software or access Synaptic or even update flash plugin from Firefox.

open a terminal, type
Code:
sudo synaptic then, after synpatic closes, post the complete content of the terminal window here. please use code tags (go advanced => '#') for that |

ok, nothing interesting in terminal output.
did it still open only briefly, as described previously, and display the same error message? |
