Sudden complications with Adept and Synaptic

Dear Everybody
This morning I effectively managed to redefine my Unix 'root' password
at Kubuntu 7.10 - via a Konsole after starting up in the 'safe mode'. In
spite of this, I still do not manage to access the update and software
install functions of Adept. With Synaptic I have exactly the same
problem. After giving in the password via the graphical KDE menu, I see
the computer trying to access Adept or Synaptic during +/- 1 minute.
After that minute, the process stops simply without any explanation and,
moreover, without accessing the Adept or Synaptic menu.
I also tried to access both Synaptic and Adept via Konsole. However,
this attempt did not succeed neither. Does anyone have a clue on how to
fix this problem?
Below, I summarise for you what happened when I tried to set into motion
Adept and Synaptic via Konsole. Perhaps someone can find there something
that helps him or her to provide me with some useful feedback.
Thanks for any possible reply.
Respectfully Yours,
Bas.
