I also have this problem. Steps to reproduce: 1) Open software sources (as regular user) 2) Goto "Other Software" tab 3) Remove entry
Result: Authorization failed. Software sources can't be changed without permission. When running Software Sources with massive debug I get no debug error: software-properties-gtk -m dbus properly registers software-properties-gtk This is very frustrating because nothing seems to be giving out error messages. The following logs show no errors: /var/log/syslog /var/log/ConsoleKit/history /var/log/messages /var/log/dmesg /var/log/kern.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074657 Title: "Authorization failed" when trying to edit anything To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1074657/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
