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.
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.

And I believe I just found the cure for that, I did an xhost + local: as
both me and as sudo -i, and just ran synaptic as root from the cli with
zero problems. To install around 175 debs. I'd call that progress, as I
now have much better control over my computer.
