Title:
  Qt Additional Drivers tab cannot install drivers

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The on_driver_selection_changed method in SoftwarePropertiesQt.py was
  incorrectly ported from the GTK frontend, preventing driver
  installation.

  Qt's toggled signal passes a bool, unlike GTK which passes the widget.
  The code used functools.partial to pre-bind arguments, so the bool was
  either passed as an extra positional argument (causing a TypeError) or
  misinterpreted as a package name (causing a KeyError). The method also
  called self.userinterface.sender() to get the radio button, but
  self.userinterface is the wrong QObject, so it returns None.
  Additionally, a typo ("manually_install" instead of
  "manually_installed") caused wrong signal wiring for some buttons.

  The net effect is that driver_changes is never populated, so the Apply
  button stays disabled and no packages are sent to PackageKit.

  Fix: accept the button as an explicit parameter instead of using
  sender(), use lambdas instead of partial to absorb the bool from
  toggled, and fix the typo.
