[Bug 824985] Re: synaptic fails to start from unity launcher

[Mingming Ren]

I think it could be a path problem.

I change this line in synaptic.desktop
Exec=synaptic-pkexec
with
Exec=/usr/sbin/synaptic-pkexec

And now it works.

Title:
  synaptic fails to start from unity launcher

Status in “synaptic” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  after the latest update (changelog talks about switching from gksu to
  -pkexec for authentification) synaptic doesn't start from the unity
  launcher. Starting in a terminal with "gksu synaptic" works fine.

  Note, this is serious when update-manager is also out of commission!
