Reinstalled the package. Bug is still persistent. Here's some more info for you:
I ran the "check for best server" while I was running System Monitor to get an idea of what was going on. As the check ran, I saw the system opening a whole bunch of sh sessions with PIDs in the upper 2000s or low 3000s. One by one, they all went from "Sleeping" to "Zombie", and when they were all Zombies, that's when the test hung, at around 50% completion. Then I went to close Software Sources, and it hung, at which point I did Force Quit, and then I still had a process called software-properties-gtk open on the system, although it didn't have the special icon that "Software Sources" has. Upon re-running the test from the beginning, at the end I had 2 of these software-properties-gtk processes running, so it seems that they propagate each time the test is run. Does this help at all? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/902783 Title: "Find Best Server" causes Software Sources to hang To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/902783/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
