Not an expert here, but the problem appears to be the import apt line 58 in SoftwarePropertiesQt.py.
apt.Cache() lacks the packages attribute. Replacing apt with apt_pkg (as seen in the detect.py package and to which the apt_cache is passed) should fix the problem. apt is only called twice in SoftwarePropertiesQt.py and both times, it is used (incorrectly) as follows: self.apt_cache = apt.Cache() If this is the correct approach to fix this issue, I will attempt to submit a patch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965811 Title: software-properties-qt does not load driver information Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: New Status in software-properties source package in Jammy: New Bug description: Driver information is not being loaded by software-properties-qt.
