[Bug 1801439] Re: Unable to add PPA's via the software-properties

[Chris Guiver]

I followed TEST instructions in description

I got exactly the same output

guiverc at dx6120lu:~$ sudo software-properties-qt 
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'                                                   
Traceback (most recent call last):                                                                                           
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-pack ...

(I saved my output & copy/pasted output from description then `diff -Zb`
them & only difference was prompt & XDG_RUNTIME_DIR lines..)

Title:
  Unable to add PPA's via the software-properties

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Test
  1. Start Software-properties. E.g. sudo software-properties-qt 
  2. Navigate to Other Software (Tab), Add -> Add, to add a PPA
  3. Insert the PPA string. E.g. "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu cosmic main "
  4. Click Okay.

  The software sources list does not contain the new field. Executing in
  terminal results in the following error message.
