Another thing I noticed is I am able to launch the Synaptic Package Manager from command line. But when I type "synaptic" at the prompt I get an error which I have attached a screen shot of. The error indicates the Synaptic Package Manager is starting without administrative privileges. When I press OK the Synaptic Package Manager launches.
If I launch the Synaptic Package Manager from the GNOME desktop-- System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager--it shows "Starting Administrativ..." in the GNOME panel but then it goes away after 5 seconds and does not launch the Synaptic Package Manager. This is definitely appearing to be a permissions issue. I just don't know how to solve it. Thanks.
