# Additional Info
Note: described behaviour is for a post 20.04->22.04 devel daily upgrade
found during a QA Testcase. Behaviour exists, but has slightly different
symptoms in a virgin live 22.04 daily session (see below)
* launching from terminal works as expected
sudo software-properties-qt
## process & errors - post 20.04->22.04 devel daily upgrade
* running Discover from terminal
$ plasma-discover
* Settings > Software Sources
gives error on terminal:
> org.kde.kdesu: Daemon not safe (not sgid), not using it.
* insert known-correct user password
gives error on terminal:
> kf.su: [ ./src/stubprocess.cpp : 225 ] Unknown request: "stop"
> end
* close password window
gives error on terminal

## process & errors - live Kubuntu 22.04 daily
similar behaviour, hoever password-asking window never appears.
Terminal errors differ from above:
* Settings > Software Sources
gives error on terminal:
> org.kde.kdesu: Daemon not safe (not sgid), not using it.
>
> Don't need password!!
>
>kf.su: [./src/stubprocess.cpp : 255 ] Unknown request: "ok"
