I've attached a strace of software-properties-gtk, taken with the
"strace -fr -o software-properties-gtk.strace software-properties-gtk"
command. The only thing which stands out to me is that there are a *lot*
of EAGAIN entries for file descriptor 3, which appears to be the local
"/tmp/.X11-unix/X0" socket. The file exists, and has what I'd expect to
be usable ownership and permissions.
$ ls -l /tmp/.X11-unix/X0
srwxrwxrwx 1 adric adric 0 Feb 12 09:24 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0
AS PJSingh5000 indicated, the only message displayed on the terminal was
ERROR:root:Authentication canceled, changes have not been saved
