Public bug reported: When I start software-properties from the desktop it asks me for my password and then exits.
If I run kdesudo software-properties-kde from the terminal I am asked for my password then I get the following trace error Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/software-properties-kde", line 136, in <module> app = SoftwarePropertiesKDE(datadir=data_dir, options=options, file=afile, attachWinID=attachWinID) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/kde/SoftwarePropertiesKDE.py", line 64, in __init__ SoftwareProperties.__init__(self, options=options, datadir=datadir) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 103, in __init__ self.sourceslist = SourcesList() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/sourceslist.py", line 274, in __init__ self.matcher = SourceEntryMatcher(matcherPath) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/sourceslist.py", line 459, in __init__ dist = DistInfo(f, base_dir=matcherPath) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/distinfo.py", line 186, in __init__ for line in dist_file: File "/usr/lib/python3.4/codecs.py", line 313, in decode (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xae in position 2: invalid start byte I am using Software-Properties-KDE version 0.92.36 on ubuntu 14.04 LTS with some optional kde components installed (ie.
