Got the same bug in 17.10 on Ubuntu on Xorg.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu 17.10
2. Login to Ubuntu on Xorg session
3. Launch software-properties-gtk from terminal
4. Open "Other Software" tab, click on checkbox near "Canonical partners"
5. Get "ERROR:root:Authentication canceled, changes have not been saved" in 
terminal


Seems to be a side-effect of PolicyKit and root applications modern behavior 
(bug 1713313).
