SUMMARY Security issue (not on the list of bug type?) Cannot change repository to https. There is a current issue with man in middle attacks on apt. Conecting to a https server reduces this attack for some cases, mainly ISP code injection. STEPS TO REPRODUCE In Muon software centre in Kubuntu 18.10 1. open settings 2. open configure software sources - put password in 3. click on Download from 4. Note : repeat with sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list edited sources to point to a https server e.g. deb https://mirror.one.com/ubuntu/ cosmic main restricted check in a terminal $ sudo apt update to show a https connection has been made. Now check to find Download from no longer recognises that repository sources is set. If you select a repository with https, there is a protocol - dropdown, but is always set to http. and you can't type https OBSERVED RESULT In muon GUI - Be able to set https in Download from, or default to https, but fall back to http. EXPECTED RESULT Download from dropdown should show https, and when selected should filter the repository list to https compatible servers SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: MacOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux (x86_64) release 4.18.0-13-generic (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.13.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.50.0 Qt Version: 5.11.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am running muon in Kubuntu 10.20, but I don't have the protocol (http) dropdown you are describing. This is odd, because the muon version is the same as the one you say you are using. $ muon --version muon 5.8.0 Can you please check to see if this is the version you actually have? Also - sources.list is sort of deprecated. You should be looking in sources.list.d
