Synaptic Package Manager will not start
« on: December 01, 2009, 07:11:56 AM »
Hello
When I click the icon for Synaptic, the window where you type your password appears.
After I have typed the password, this window disappears, and then nothing happens.
I have tried to use both the icon in the panel, and the one in the main menu - system - configuration - packaging.
In the Utilities folder on the desktop, there is something called Synaptic Repair Desktop. I dont know what it is for. Thaught it might help, but that will not open either.
I have searched this forum but only found one topic:
http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,65289.msg529101.html#msg529101
As far as I could see there were no answers to this.

Try opening Konsole, type in su, hit Enter and then put in your password. Then type in synaptic and if it doesn't launch when you hit Enter, copy and paste the output from Konsole here. It may actually launch, but if it doesn't, the messages you get may help solve the problem.

Well, synaptic started when I typed in the things you said.
I got this output in Konsole, I have no idea what it means:
(synaptic:12321): libglade-WARNING **: could not look up stock id 'Indstillinger'

(synaptic:12321): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_hide: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
[root@localhost hn]#

P.S. Now synaptic also starts when I click the icon.....

I'm not sure what those messages mean, but since I get pretty much the same thing I don't think they indicate any kind of serious problem. My output:
Quote
synaptic

(synaptic:3163): libglade-WARNING **: could not look up stock id 'Preferences'

(synaptic:3163): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_hide: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

In any case, I'm glad it is working for you!

I was looking for synaptic problems and then i came across this topic which is exactly what i get if i run synaptic. Since i know that you guys will need the output to get an idea of what the problem might be, i have pasted below..

From the command line, try running  rpm --rebuilddb as root. It will likely take quite a while, so be sure you wait until it completes.

Did you follow Tex's link and remove the corrupted database?

Remove corrupted database:
[root@localhost ~]# rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db*


If you haven't done so already, use all of Tex's steps to rebuild.

How to repair the Synaptic RPM database

Open a Terminal Konsole
Type su and press the enter/return key
type in your root password (hidden) press the enter/return key

Remove corrupted database:
[root@localhost ~]# rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db*   - OK

Rebuild RPM database: (This can take a while. Let it finish!)
[root@localhost ~]# rpm --rebuilddb - Got the error message that i posted earlier

Check for duplicate installed packages:
[root@localhost ~]# dupeclean - Again similar error message and at the end No duplicate/multiple versions of rpms found.

Clean out apt
[root@localhost ~]# apt-get clean - OK
[root@localhost ~]# apt-get auto-clean - E: Invalid operation auto-clean


Can this be a problem of the iso file i downloaded (although i downloaded from the official source..) ?

If this is happening on a brand new install then it could be a bad download or a bad burn. Do you know how to checksum the downloaded ISO? Can you burn the ISO at 4x-8x speed?

Did you also d/l the md5sum file for the ISO image you downloaded? If not, do so. Place the md5sum file in the same directory with the ISO image, If using Dolphin as your file manager, press the F4 key to open the attached terminal pane then at the prompt type;

md5sum -c *.md5sum                            

then press the Enter key. If the ISO image is correct, you will get a verification OK. If not, you'll get an error message. It takes a while to read the image, so wait for the results.

Thanks old-polack for the procedure.

Did it, ISO turned out to be just fine, so what i did was to burn again the iso in 4x speed. That did the trick, reinstalled the os and now synaptic works just fine. Right now im in the process of updating all packages.

Problem solved! Thanks guys!
