    problem with synaptic

    For some reason when I start synaptic, it says that its starting without administrative privileges instead of asking for my password. Whats going on here?

    Try:

    Code:
    sudo usermod -a -G admin your_username
    then, retry accessing Synaptics.
    Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time. So long as there is a regular progression of Stimuli to get your mental hooks into, there is room for lateral movement. Once this begins, its rate is a matter of discretion.

    What would have caused that?

    For some unknown reasons to me, you're not included on the privilege user group so we opt to execute the command I posted above to add you to the Admin group.

    EDIT: I just don't know what had happened if you had executed first "gksudo synaptic" prior to adding you to the Admin group.
