[02:11] <maggotbrain> man. on a fresh install of 20.04 (in a VM), adding a ppa via the gui is borked. just hangs and give an internal error. :-(
[02:15] <maggotbrain> and the anti-pattern of prompting for the apt source before prompting for admin creds is not good.

[08:13] <ochosi> quite the release party ^ ;)
[11:46] <bluesabre> :)
[11:47] <Unit193> Sean! \o/
[11:47] <Unit193> bluesabre: Hey!  I saw you got someone interested in QA!
[11:48] <bluesabre> Unit193: yeah, just got pinged by them and pointed them at some resources.
[11:48] <bluesabre> Yay life! :D
[11:49] <Unit193> Also I should likely look at your doodle. >_<  But as always, late evenings tend to work best.
[12:01] <jphilips> maggotbrain: how exactly did you add a ppa via the gui, as i didn't any any problems doing it when i did it
[13:47] <maggotbrain> via Software * Updates -> Other Software -> Add
[15:38] <jphilips> maggotbrain: on the apt line field, did you simply put in the ppa entry like so - ppa:xuzhen666/dockbarx
[15:45] <maggotbrain> no. "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/phoerious/keepassxc/ubuntu focal main" it is accepted and shows correctly. Then freezes on the "refreshing software cache" and eventually (~2+ min) crashes with an internal error.
[15:46] <maggotbrain> add-apt-repository from the cli works fine.
[15:49] <maggotbrain> apparently it's a dupe of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1832057
[16:18] <jphilips> maggotbrain: i remember having problems when it was refreshing the software cache and i didn't import the key file and it looped forever when i tried closing the window.

[16:19] <jphilips> sad that doing it from the GUI isn't as simple as the commandline and the GUI should take you step by step through the correct process to provide a good UX
[16:23] <jphilips> linux mint makes it quite user friendly - https://core0.staticworld.net/images/article/2015/07/add-ppa-to-linux-mint-100594418-orig.png
[16:23] <maggotbrain> yeah sad indeed. This is the 1st time I have done a clean install in a year or two. All of my other xubuntu machines are upgrades.
[20:26] <maggotbrain> and both the bug I linked and its dupe are over a year old.
