this report seems a dupe of Bug #721778 as the issue is the same. But this bug seems to affect other software while using menu or clicking to start those softwares: today, for the first time, Firefox refuse to start from menu (nothing logged nor dialog errors shown) but start from a terminal, some other soft start by clicking on their icons but take a long time.
So this " UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)" error affect the whole system, not only software-properties-gtk. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/723216 Title: cant directly add a ppa using the "Add" button -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
