Title:
  Software & Updates - Authentication Tab - Restore Defaults - no
  Trusted Software Providers loaded

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Enabled livepatch on two cleanly installed laptops - entered settings
  GUI for livepatch by right-clicking on status icon and selecting
  'Livepatch Settings...' - navigate to the 'Authentication' tab - click
  on the 'Restore Defaults' button - on one laptop, keys are loaded from
  the /etc/apt/ and /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d folders - on the other,
  however, nothing happens / no keys are loaded even though the exact
  same keys are on both machines. I can't determine why these systems
  behave differently as they were both installed using the exact same
  USB media using the exact same setup process.

  Both laptops are configured with:
  Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
  Livepatch 10.4.1
  Gnome Version 42.5

  What I expected to happen: Authentication tab's Trusted Software
  Providers area gets populated with default keys - i.e., Trusted
  Software Providers' keys are displayed

  What happened instead: nothing; Authentication tab's Trusted Software
  Providers area remains blank - i.e., No keys are displayed in the
  Trusted Software Providers area

  I don't know if this presents a security vulnerability or not; I guess
  it depends on whether or not livepatch would retrieve / install
  packages from untrusted sources?  I would expect not, but I'm not
  certain if that's true.
