Greetings;
Synaptic seems to want a root pw in its run requestor, but root
doesn't have pw, everything is done with sudo or sudo-like such as
gksudo.
How can I fix the for tde so its happy with the sudo pw?
On Debian I must edit the menu to run "tdesu synaptic". There is
a "tdesudo-trinity" showing in synaptic, so I would guess "tdesudo
synaptic" should do the trick.
Wrong unforch, it still insists on a nonexistant root pw. Mine as first
and only human user, doesn't satisfy it.
Can't see what sudo brings over su however, as
anyone getting your
sudo password just has to sudo passwd root to create a root password.

I don't get it all that well either, but thats how debian has done it for
about a decade now.
