I'm having this exact issue with 21.12.0, Manjaro. My guess is that they have a
install where you don't have a root login set, but their user can `sudo`
themselves privileges which is common for a good handful of distros. So the
user cannot `su` directly in this case and this is what KSystemLog is trying to
do.

I do acknowledge that #354106 talking about PolicyKit or anything better than
giving an application effective root might be the best course of action.
