Can not open the Edit Software Sources window from KPackageKit

[GOlaf]

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

After I upgraded, from Kubuntu 9.4 to Kubuntu 9.10, I cannot edit software sources.
When I click on the edit button the KPackafeKit window dims for a second and that's it.
No Edit Software Sources pop up window.

I had one third party path amongst the software sources (Boxee).

Confirmed using same version of kpackagekit (0.4.2-0ubuntu3) with lucid and kde 4.4b2.

same problem for me :(

I had no problem with my Software Sources until I upgraded to RC2. Since then, I have had the same problem. It still requests my password, however after input it dims and resets.

[Petr (petrsharks)]

oki :) Is there anyone who knows when it will be fixed? It's pretty anoying :) But I don't want to be rude, I really appreciate job You are doing here for us ;)

Can anyone still confirm this? I can't on an up-to-date lucid. I open Systemsettings, then go to add/remove software, settings and when I click on the 'Edit Software Sources' button I get a kdesudo window and then sofware-properties-kde opens fine.

The problem most people are having is most likely not the same as the original report. Most probably this is because the python bindings were broken in KDE 4.4 up until RC3. The 4.4 RC3 packages have the fix.

[Petr (petrsharks)]

Thanks a lot Jonathan, but.... I am using Kubuntu 9.10 with kde 4.4 RC2 (which is latest available acording to kde.org - I updated via kpackagekit by adding ppa from kubuntu websites). maybe I am doing somethink wrong, but even now with all updates it is not working :)

i have the same issue what do i need to do to fix it?

[Chronon (gopindra)]

I have KDE 4.4.1 and I am still seeing this behavior. I am running Kubuntu 9.10 on x86_64.

[RussianNeuroMancer (russianneuromancer)]

I using Kubuntu 10.04 with KDE 4.4.1, and I still have this issue.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Separate issue, please file a separate bug. In it, please try launching "kdesudo software-properties-kde" from the konsole and paste the log.

I'm just got this issue when I updated 9.10 base install to KDE SE 4.4.2. So far nothing seems to be helping to fix this.
