This is Sushanta, started familiarizing with Ubuntu Linux. After a successful installation of Ubuntu version 18.04 in my Fujitsu Life book U772 tried to launch Synaptic Package Manager. Unfortunately, It's not opening. I ask for your kind suggestion in this regard as I need to get access to some software like Dropbox and so on.

Please help me out.

Thanks in advance.

I spent almost one day to discover the mystery behind this trouble as I am new here. Anyway, I am answering my question that Synaptic Package Manager does not work on Wayland session where I log in on that session. That's why it was showing errors all the time. This could be helpful for newcomers like me. Anyone should check the log on options by clicking on settings icon appears at the beginning to avoid this kind of problems. Finally, Thanks, everyone :)

Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+t. Run:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install synaptic

to install Synaptic Package Manger.

For Dropbox you can run in terminal

sudo apt install nautilus-dropbox
