I ran Synaptic package manager and it asked for root password to continue. Entered the new password I created and the timer icon ran for a few seconds and then disappeared. Nothing else happened.
Any suggestions ?

There are two issues with Synaptic:
You need to edit a file to have it ask you for the user password instead of the root password. Instructions are here: https://dlidirect.com/community/champ/forums/1778-atomic-pi-user-forum/topics/4873-root-password-is-absolutely-required
Synaptic doesn't work! At least not for me. Ubuntu dropped the Synaptic package manager some time ago. Instead, go to System Tools—>Software. In other words, don't use Synaptic. :(
