[Bug 1592427] Re: I can't disable proposed updates
I forgot about this bug, but I later realised that the problem was due to my installation of the OS from a daily cd version of the ISO file from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/xenial/daily-live/pending/xenial-desktop-amd64.iso.zsync rather than the normal download site. I did not realise that the version from there has proposed repos enabled Apologies for not reporting this find before, but at least I now know what was the cause. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592427 Title: I can't disable proposed updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1592427/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1592427] Re: I can't disable proposed updates
The output from "dpkg -S /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list" is now what I expected, "dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list" as I have now disabled the proposed repos so that is no help. I did not think to look in the "Other software" tab of software-properties, but as far as I can remember the proposed repos were not there, and I think I would have noticed as I go there quite often as I have several ppa repos for which I sometimes check out repo addresses. . Anyway, problem over for me now as I am back to the standard repos versions of everything with no problems so I don't see any way that I can help any further. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592427 Title: I can't disable proposed updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1592427/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1592427] Re: I can't disable proposed updates
I haven't dug all the way into the code but I suspect the Developer Options tab and the Updates tab only hanlde -updates, -security, and -proposed to exist in /etc/apt/sources.list not in a different file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. Additionally, I'd expect -proposed to appear in the "Other Software" tab of software-properties. I'm still really curious where the proposed.list file came from. Maybe try "dpkg -S /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592427 Title: I can't disable proposed updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1592427/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1592427] Re: I can't disable proposed updates
Hopefully a final comment about this from me, with a suggestion about how to restore the packages that you don't want from "proposed" back to stable repository versions. With some help from another Ubuntuforums member, 1fallen, I was given this info page from askubuntu http://askubuntu.com/questions/768849/how-to-reverse-proposed-channel-package-upgrade which I followed and successfully managed to get my machine back to where I thought it was before this surprise discovery of "proposed" being enabled. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592427 Title: I can't disable proposed updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1592427/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1592427] Re: I can't disable proposed updates
Just as a trial I have a few minutes ago restored the proposed.list file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ which is where I originally found it, and once again I am not able to disable the proposed repos from software- sources GUI. Whatever I do, the tick in the selection box of the Developer Options tab stays firmly selected. Removing that proposed.list file once again as I did before has once more disabled the proposed repos. So it looks as if something has added those proposed.list files to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with no reference to me, and I am completely baffled about what has been done, by what process, and why it happened. I do have several ppa repos enabled, but I always have done so without this ever occurring in the past, so I believe that is unconnected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592427 Title: I can't disable proposed updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1592427/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1592427] Re: I can't disable proposed updates
I found the two files, proposed.list and proposed.list.save in /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder and both of them had the same content:- deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-proposed universe main multiverse restricted Neither file had that one line commented out with a # as I would expect. I removed those files and now I can enable and disable the proposed repos and if enabled the /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a line as shown above as I expected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592427 Title: I can't disable proposed updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1592427/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Were in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ did you find proposed enabled?

OK, that worked as expected, and now when I go to Software Sources from the Xubuntu menu I can enable and disable the proposed repos without a problem as I expect to be able to do.

Just noticed the same thing in my Xubuntu 16.04. I do not recall enabling proposed at all, so I'm baffled.

Hi, thanks for your response. Yes, I've reload as the pop up suggests, and after reloading, the box is still ticked. I've deleted the source "proposed" in etc/apt/sources.list.d, sudo apt-update, and the box isn't ticked anymore. If you need I can try to reproduce it.
