I am having similar problem in Lubuntu 18.04 LTS. I found it originally when I run 'Software and Updates' from the menu (software-properties- gtk) and try to check/uncheck software sources. Checking/unchecking does not work. I can only see the error message "ERROR:root:Authentication canceled, changes have not been saved" if I run it from the command line.
