Title:
  software-properties-gtk does not request root permission when choosing
  repositories in "Other Software" tab

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1) Description:   Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (Ubuntu-GNOME)
  Release:  14.04 amd64

  2) software-properties-gtk:
Installed: 0.92.37.1
Candidate: 0.92.37.1
Version table:
   *** 0.92.37.1 0
  500 http://www.lug.bu.edu/mirror/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 
Packages
  100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
   0.92.36 0
  500 http://www.lug.bu.edu/mirror/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages

  3) When checking/unchecking repositories under the "Other Software"
  tab of software-properties-gtk I expect it to prompt me for root/sudo
  password, and once accepted I can check and uncheck my repositories.

  4)  The title may not explain issue good enough so forgive me for being long 
winded just want to make sure issue is understood. This is what I experience 
when opening Software & Updates (software-properties-gtk) from app menu, and go 
to the "Other Software" tab. 
If you go to check or uncheck any of the repositories listed it does 
not let you because you don't have sudo/root privileges, that makes sense, but 
under regular Ubuntu 14.04.1 (I am currently running Ubuntu-GNOME 14.04.1) and 
you went ahead to check or uncheck a repository it would request root 
privileges at that moment by asking for the password. As long as the password 
was excepted you could then go ahead check/uncheck the repositories you want. 
In Ubuntu-GNOME it does not try and gain privilege it just darkens the list.  
If you open software-properties-gtk via terminal when you go to check/uncheck 
any repository it returns this error in terminal window: 
"ERROR:root:Authentication canceled, changes have not been saved" The only way 
you can get it to request root privileges is to hit one of the buttons below 
(Add, Edit, Remove, Add Volume). So it does not cause an issue you can not get 
around, it was just something that I noticed that happened with Ubuntu 14.04.1 
that does not with Ubuntu-GNOME 14.04.1 and probably should.

Also have this problem with weewx accessing a Davis Vantage Vue weather
station. Downgrading kernel from 65 to 63 instantly solved it.  Not a
programmer but happy to supply logs, etc
