I have done what was asked. This is the reported journal line: jul 16 12:00:28 johan-NL40-50CU polkitd(authority=local)[821]: Operator of unix-session:2 FAILED to authenticate to gain authorization for action com.ubuntu.softwareproperties.applychanges for system-bus- name::1.135 [/usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk] (owned by unix-user:johan)
jul 16 12:00:28 johan-NL40-50CU software-properties-gtk.desktop[5300]: ERROR:root:Authentication canceled, changes have not been saved I have also unlocked the user account panel. This worked fine without any issue. As stated earlier the authentication problem occurs only within a Wayland session and never within an Xorg one. I also include the report line in a separate attachment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1973306 Title: packages freezes on authentification with Wayland Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I want to report an issue which might well have been reported already, although i could not find it. A few weeks ago I switched from Ubuntu LTS 20.04 towards the LTS 22.04 with Wayland as default. I discovered that there is a sort of incompatibility between the software-properties-package and the Wayland protocol, which occurs systematically and never occurs when switching back to Xorg. When one tries to add or change a rule in ‘other software’ the application always freezes when the user is asked to authenticate. As soon a one cancels the authentification procedure it unfreezes almost immediately, but freezes again when the user retries to complete the adding or alteration procedure. As said, this error never occurs if the user switches back to an Xorg session. See screenshot: the window with the communication 'software & updates does not respond' and with the choice to close or to wait is hidden behind the authentification window. I am not really sure whether this bug has to be reported as a security issue, but certainly the software-properties-package is of utmost importance for a stable and secure OS.
