Thread: Ubuntu 9.10 error in synaptic package manager

Whenever i choose system->Administration->synaptic package manager after that it immediately grant me a blank screen how i can set up novel package with the help of synaptic package manager.

So please be certain your system is completely updated/upgraded with no awaiting packages or else errors:

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal as well as type:

Suggestion: right click with mouse on the terminal title caption as well as choose the item "Always on Top" doing this you will force the terminal window to continue on top of the additional windows as well as you will find awfully simple to copy single row from this web page into the terminal.

(If the system requests you a password provide your user password, you will not see anything when you type it, and after that press the enter key)

sudo dpkg -P --force-all nameofpackage
sudo dpkg --clear-avail
sudo dpkg --configure --pending
sudo dpkg --configure -a

After that to update as well as upgrade and also check awaiting or else misplaced packages, still using terminal type:

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
Hope this helps
