/usr/bin/update-manager:AttributeError:<lambda>:on_settings_button_clicked:show_settings

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This patch sets GDK_BACKEND to x11 to workaround this crash when calling software-properties from update-manager.

the patch seems too much, software-properties-gtk works fine under wayland it's just show_settings() in UpdateManager.py which creates the issue

        cmd = ["/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk",
               "--open-tab", "2",
               "--toplevel", "%s" % self.get_window().get_xid()

the get_xid() is an x11 specific call, a better workaround would be to just not add the toplevel argument when used under wayland

Okay, it makes sense. Here is a new version following your comment.

Looks good to me!

I've uploaded this artful, thanks! The bug description could use a few more details if we want to SRU this to zesty.
