[Bug 1872551] Re: software-properties-qt: nvidia driver version switch fails

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package software-properties - 0.98.9

---------------
software-properties (0.98.9) focal; urgency=medium

  * softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py:
    - Gtk is doing something that takes a lock while processing checkbox
      toggled events, the polkit auth dialog can't be displayed in return,
      we don't have a proper fix and it might require GTK changes,
      meanwhile we want a working interface so workaround with a sleep
      (lp: #1727908)

Title:
  software-properties-qt: nvidia driver version switch fails

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Switching the Nvidia driver version with kubuntu-driver-manager
  doesn't work anymore: Selecting a different driver version (nvidia-
  driver-440 instead of the currently selected / installed -390) and
  clicking "Apply Changes" has no effect and produces this error message
  in the terminal:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/qt/SoftwarePropertiesQt.py", line 895, in on_driver_changes_apply
      for dep in get_dependencies(self.apt_cache, pkg.shortname, 'nvidia'):
  NameError: name 'get_dependencies' is not defined

  Steps to reproduce:
  - sudo kubuntu-driver-manager
  - Under "Additional Drivers", select a different Nvidia driver version
    (in my case: 440 instead of 390)
  - Click "Apply Changes"
  - (observe error message in the terminal)

  Expected result:
  - No error message
  - Nvidia driver version 440 gets installed

  Actual result:
  - Error message
  - No change in the installed Nvidia driver version
