My 20.04 is fully up to date. I can launch Muon Package Manager just fine. However, clicking on Settings > Configure Software Sources doesn't take me to the page expected. After entering my pwd, it updates the package caches and returns me to the main screen. I'm not taken to the expected page. Anyone else seeing this?

Not seeing that here using updated 20.04 on a VM -
Rebooted the laptop. Muon Package Manager still behaving as I've reported; it won't take me to the Software Sources page.
When the password window is presented, the command that is being run shows as: /usr/bin/software-properties-kde --attach 4194310 --dont-update
What command is to be run for you?Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Running the same command from the konsole without the "attach" option pops open the Software sources window.Comment

Hmm. Anything come to mind as to why Muon Package Manager works as expected for you, but not here? Anything you can think of that I can check on?Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Nothing yet. I even was able to add "Canonical Partners" to sources and it works as expected. This is a plain vanilla 20.04 install. Updated fully but not really used.
Maybe try a different user account? Have you tried launching the software sources as a stand-alone? Might point us at Muon or show the sources app as the problem.Comment

I may be totally wrong here, but... in Kubuntu 20.04, the "driver manager" launches software-properties-gtk, does it not?
Would that let you configure the sources? (it does on neon. Sorry, I can't boot into K20 just now).Comment

No, in Kubuntu , kubuntu-driver-manager is a System Settings module, and is not not embedded/attached to software-properties-kde. Software-properties-gtk is not part of a normal Kubuntu install.Originally posted by Don B. Cilly View PostComment

Oops :·)Originally posted by claydoh View Post
Still, they look suspiciously ;·) similar.
But anyway... the KDM will let you configure the sources, right? Will that work?Comment

They look similar because they are both created by Ubuntu. Both are python code with one using gtk bindings and the other using KDE ones. I imagine that they made both variants work and look the same nowadays.
The driver module is still in system settings but it did not used to be in the Software Sources applet previously.
Admittedly I have not used the driver manager in ages now and have not checked in on it since 18.04.

Just to 'see', I ran software-properties-kde in a konsole and got:
software-properties-kde
Traceback (most recent call last):

Found the cause. With the output of running software-properties-kde in a konsole and noting this: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'UbuntuDrivers' I searched for ubuntu-drivers in Muon Package Manager which found ubuntu-drivers-common that was not installed. I installed it from a konsole: sudo apt install ubuntu-drivers-common and after it finished, relaunched Muon Package Manager. Clicking on Settings > Configure Software Sources now works.
This has never happened to me in all past installations of Muon Package Manager (sudo apt install muon). So it seems that ubuntu-drivers-common is a REQUIRED dependency, but not identified as such in the muon packaging details in 20.04. Would I be correct in this?Windows no longer obstructs my view.
