Hi guys
I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 recently and both Update Manager and Synaptic have stopped working outside of terminal initiation.
If I try to use either from the GUI menu (or for update manager its "updated available" icon) the applications start but hang with a minimised stub "Starting Administrative Application". It never gets to displaying the password entry dialog box.
Any ideas how to fix this ?
Thanks
