Synaptic Package Manager

[meddyliol]

I installed the Synaptic Package Manager which runs OK from the terminal. When I try and run it from the desktop it comes up with:
Identity: pi
Password: blank (not the word blank but a blank space )

I didn't put a password in when I downloaded it so why is it asking for one but not when I run it from the terminal?

Probably the screwy way they configure sudo to work without a password, and they didn't check out it doesn't break other software.

Stick with apt-get....

raspberry

Thanks for that. I could have sworn I tried raspberry, obviously I didn't. Anyway, it works now.

You should really change your password!
