[xubuntu-users] synaptic is not opening from the panel

[Jordan]

Hi som,

You might want to run a distribution upgrade through apt-get.  Some bugs 
for gtk might have been fixed since you have last upgraded.

Paste into the terminal,

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade dist-upgrade && synaptic

If synaptic does not immediately run after the script completes, your 
kernel might be a bit stale.

To update the kernel, paste

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install linux-generic 
linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic && sudo apt-get -y autoremove 
&& synaptic

If synaptic does not run immediately at the conclusion of the script, 
then check back into the list.

By the way, unless you have a slower connection, it's always a good idea 
to start every apt-get session with 'sudo apt-get update'. This will 
make sure you are in sync with the latest in the repositories.
