** Description changed: Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Software Sources as an admin user (not as root; don't do this through Synaptic). 2. Try to check or uncheck the Cdrom source or a source in the Other Software section. Nothing will happen. 3. Do another action that triggers a PolicyKit authentication dialog (toggle the multiverse or universe source, or add a source in Other Software) 4. Repeat step 3. This time, the source will be toggled appropriately. In step 2, the following lands in stderr: Traceback (most recent call last): - File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 647, in on_isv_source_toggled - self.backend.ToggleSourceUse(str(source_entry)) - File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 143, in __call__ - **keywords) - File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 630, in call_blocking - message, timeout) + File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 647, in on_isv_source_toggled + self.backend.ToggleSourceUse(str(source_entry)) + File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 143, in __call__ + **keywords) + File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 630, in call_blocking + message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: com.ubuntu.SoftwareProperties.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: com.ubuntu.softwareproperties.applychanges Attempting to toggle a software source in the Other Software section should trigger an authentication dialog.
