Public bug reported: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch software-properties-gtk on Ubuntu 17.10 (Xorg) 2. Select "Other Software" tab 3. Click on checkmark to the left of any PPA (e.g. Ubuntu Partners)
Current Behaviour: When clicking the checkmark to enable or disable a PPA, the window becomes inactive (greyed out). Clicking on the title bar bring the window back into focus. Expected Behaviour: A password prompt should pop up. Then, the PPA should be enabled/disabled when clicking the button. Repro Rate: 90% In 17.04, after a while, this started working on its own. In 17.10, it won't work. Notes: >From my memory, this has been happening at least since Ubuntu GNOME 17.04, and >is happening in 17.10. Workaround: gksu software-properties-gtk does the trick. It seems the issue is that software-properties-gtk doesn't trigger the password prompt.
