[Bug 1068831] [NEW] Other Software in Software Sources app is empty after a fresh install of Ubuntu

[Marten Gorodetsky]

Public bug reported:

I wanted to install Skype and the guide I followed said I need to first
activate the Canonical Partners repository in the Software Sources app
in the Other Software tab. There are however no repositories listed in
this tab (as can be seen in the attached screenshot).

I tried reinstalling Ubuntu to check if maybe I messed the system up
somehow, but the Other Software tab is still empty.

I installed Ubuntu 12.10 using the Wubi installer, it installed the 64
Bit version of Ubuntu 12.10. Maybe it's just Wubi installations that are
affected since I haven't seen anyone else yet with this problem.
