Title:
Additional drivers tab cause uncancellable operation that prevents the
program from closing
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Start software-properties-gtk, switch to additional drivers tab. The
program will start consuming 100% CPU for quite some time (many
seconds or minutes depending on the machine).
There is however no way to cancel the operation other than killing
software-properties. Trying to close the window or clicking Close
button hangs.
Test plans
----------
1. Start software-properties-gtk
1.1. Go to additional drivers tab.
1.2. Click close at the south-east corner or close the window via your window
manager.
Expected. Window closes immediately.
4. Start software-properties-gtk
4.1. Go to additional drivers tab and wait.
Expected: The viewport will at the end say that either no drivers are
available or show a list of drivers such as in the drivers-list.png attachment.
The cancel and retry buttons are gone in the latter case.
2. Start software-properties-gtk and 'top' in a terminal
2.1. Go to additional drivers tab.
Expected: The 'python3' command starts consuming 100% CPU.
2.2. Click cancel.
Expected: The aforementioned process is no longer hogging the CPU, indicating
that the driver scan really stopped. The retry button is clickable but cancel
is not.
2.3. Click retry.
Expected: The 'python3' command starts consuming 100% CPU. The retry button
is not clickable but cancel ist.
3. Start software-properties-gtk and 'top' in a terminal
3.1. Go to additional drivers tab.
3.2. Get the PID of the 'python3' process consuming 100% CPU and kill it with
kill -29 PID
Expected: The viewport says "An error blabla. Exit status: -29." Retry is
clickable but cancel is not.
5. Start software-properties-gtk
5.1. Introduce a unconditional exception in
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/UbuntuDrivers/detect.py:system_device_drivers,
e.g.:

<---
5.2. Go to additional drivers tab.
Expected: "An error occurred while searching for drivers."; In the terminal,
the backtrace is shown:
