Public bug reported:
I want to report an issue which might well have been reported already,
although i could not find it. A few weeks ago I switched from Ubuntu LTS
20.04 towards the LTS 22.04 with Wayland as default.
I discovered that there is a sort of incompatibility between the
software-properties-package and the Wayland protocol, which occurs
systematically and never occurs when switching back to Xorg.
When one tries to add or change a rule in ‘other software’ the
application always freezes when the user is asked to authenticate. As
soon a one cancels the authentification procedure it unfreezes almost
immediately, but freezes again when the user retries to complete the
adding or alteration procedure. As said, this error never occurs if the
user switches back to an Xorg session.
See screenshot: the window with the communication 'software & updates
does not respond' and with the choice to close or to wait is hidden
behind the authentification window.
I am not really sure whether this bug has to be reported as a security
issue, but certainly the software-properties-package is of utmost
importance for a stable and secure OS.
