Package: synaptic Version: 0.84.3 Followup-For: Bug #818366 I updated to 0.84.3 version and I got these messages in the log when starting Synaptic as user, after being asked the root password:
synaptic-pkexec - Unable to init server: Impossible de se connecter : Connexion refusée synaptic-pkexec - No protocol specified And Synaptic never shows. However, if I start Gparted as user, this ask me the root password and starts without problem and if I run Synaptic again it does it with no problems, Gparted does something required by Sinaptic to run on Wayland. I hope this helps.
