Programs that still rely on kdesu for example - kubuntu-driver-manager fail to work if "pwfeedback" is enabled in /etc/sudoers (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427419). This is because of a bug in kdesu binary, as everything is transitioning from kdesu to polkit based authentication, please update kubuntu-driver-manager to use polkit instead of kdesu.
