Synaptic will not launch

[peterzay]

Synaptic will not launch from either the app menu or the command line.

The synaptic icon in the app menu gives an authentication popup, type in password, hit enter and nothing happens.

From the command line:

xxx:~$ sudo synaptic-pkexec
[sudo] password for xxx:
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

(synaptic:5758): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
xxx:~$

Please ignore the Affects nautilus (Ubuntu).

After running ubuntu-bug -w, the only place I could click was the desktop.

There is a problem with the duplicate routine.

I keep getting a timeout error.
