Public bug reported: While selecting the best mirror in software-properties-qt, there's a traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/qt/DialogMirror.py", line 227, in on_report_progress self.dialog.setValue(frac*100) TypeError: setValue(self, progress: int): argument 1 has unexpected type 'float' I didn't investigate thoroughly, but it looks like maybe someone updated how progress was being updated but didn't check types or test all the way through before releasing. It can be fixed with a simple patch: diff --git a/softwareproperties/qt/DialogMirror.py b/softwareproperties/qt/DialogMirror.py index 972c4fb..4d1c150 100644 --- a/softwareproperties/qt/DialogMirror.py +++ b/softwareproperties/qt/DialogMirror.py @@ -223,7 +223,7 @@ class DialogMirror(QDialog): def on_report_progress(self, current, max, borders=(0,1), mod=(0,0)): #self.dialog.setLabelText(_("Completed %s of %s tests") % \ # (current + mod[0], max + mod[1])) - frac = borders[0] + (borders[1] - borders[0]) / max * current + frac = int(borders[0] + (borders[1] - borders[0]) / max * current) self.dialog.setValue(frac*100) $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
