    Cannot modify repositories in Software Sources after upgrading 13.10 → 14.04

    A quick search on both Google and Ubuntu Forums returned nothing helpful, so I'm posting this, as the issue's quite annoying. (I'm guessing the section, sorry if I chose a wrong one.) After upgrading my 13.10 installation to 14.04 I found out that I cannot modify repositories (by which i mean Other Sources) from Software Sources/Synaptic. I just click Modify → OK or Delete, nothing happens, no error messages. It worked in before upgrading. Any hints on what might be going on? Thanks in advance.

    Try opening software sources in terminal.

    Code:
    gksudo software-properties-gtk
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Us...ing_a_Terminal

    And welcome to the forums

    You can try opening the program directly.
    It's name is "Software and Updates".

    Don't mind me, I'm only passing through.

    Well, I'm not sure what would that fix, but I tried the second hint before posting (by "Software Sources/Synaptic" I meant opening "Software and Updates" both separately and from Synaptic), the first one now, nothing.

    Two more additions: 1. checking/unchecking checkboxes next to entries on list (under "Other Softare" tab) doesn't work either (I cannot change their state), 2. latest update of 'software-properties-gtk' from 0.92.36 to 0.92.37 didn't fix anything.

    Any other hints? Maybe some permissions I should check? I'm guessing here.

    UPDATE: Well, strange thing, it just started working out of blue. EOT I guess.
