Since this is your first post I need to say that Debian does not use sudo by default. Unless you have installed it and configured it.

Become Root by inputting into your Terminal: su
Then input: synaptic
What is the result?

[marcosmada]

the result was this:

root@Marte:/home/marcos/testes# synaptic
No protocol specified

** (synaptic:6021): WARNING **: Could not open X display
No protocol specified
Falha de segmentação

thanks for listening!

I don.t use synaptic, but I think many gui apps need to authorize through policykit, so try

$ pkexec synaptic

as your regular user, not root.

[marcosmada]

marcos@Marte:~/testes$ pkexec synaptic
Cannot run program synaptic: No such file or directory

[arochester]

Try

Become Root by inputting: su
Connect to the Internet and input in a Terminal: apt install synaptic

Then try in a Terminal again: synaptic

Synaptic is just a GUI front-end for apt. I suggest you learn how to use apt instead.

Code: Select all

man apt

root@Marte:/home/marcos# dpkg -l | grep synaptics

That is incorrect. Try

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep synaptic

Synaptic should be able to be started from the graphical menu. Did you try that?

synaptic já é a versão mais nova.
Você deve querer executar 'apt-get -f install' para corrigí-los:
Os pacotes a seguir têm dependências desencontradas:
browser-plugin-vlc : Depende: vlc mas não será instalado
vlc-plugin-notify : Depende: vlc-nox (= 1:2.2.8-dmo1+deb8u1) mas 1:2.2.6-dmo1~bpo8+2 está para ser instalado
E: Dependências desencontradas. Tente 'apt-get -f install' sem nenhum pacote (ou especifique uma solução).

Synaptic Graphics Mode Does Not Open

Looks like jibberish to me, What language is that ? So I can translate it using "google translate" or some thing.

I also think it would be interesting to see what the /etc/apt/sources.list file has in it on this one.
In fact, it might help us understand why you can not install the package, so please post a copy of your sources.list file, use code boxes, please.

Never mind, the translator say it is Portugese, ....
Also , using code boxes makes it easier to read:

Code: Select all

Synaptic is already the newest version.
You might want to run ' apt-get-f install ' to fix them:
The following packages have unfounded dependencies:
Browser-plugin-VLC: depends on: VLC but will not be installed
VLC-plugin-notify: Depends on: VLC-NOx (= 1:2.2.8-dmo1 + deb8u1) but 1:2.2.6-dmo1 ~ Bpo8 + 2 is to be installed
And: unfounded dependencies. Try ' apt-get-f install ' without any packages (or specify a solution).

i was give up install and use synaptic program. now i will use apt command. thanks the all. sorry anything.

PS: i uninstall VLC program and yours dependences. (apt purge vlc). the debian system is normal now as it has always been.

If you still have the deb-multimedia repository added to your sources, you might still get broken packages in the future. I could suggest my own repo for many of the same packages that doesn't have the same sort of issues: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=127574

The fact that you can't run Synaptic means that your system is still broken somehow. Using command line is just a workaround--it's still broken. What other outside repositories have you added besides deb-multimedia?
