Re: Synaptic Error
I don't think you actually need to run synaptic with sudo in a terminal. Launch it instead from application menu and it will ask you for your password.

Re: Synaptic Error
It would have been informative to see what was under the detail button. Perhaps you could run the following commands in a terminal and post back the result:
Code: Select all
inxi -Fxrz
Code: Select all
sudo apt update
Code: Select all
sudo apt upgrade
