Title: software-properties-qt can no longer launch when called by kdesu Status in kdesu package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in kubuntu-settings package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntustudio-default-settings package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in kdesu source package in Jammy: Confirmed Status in kubuntu-settings source package in Jammy: In Progress Status in policykit-1 source package in Jammy: Invalid Status in software-properties source package in Jammy: Confirmed Status in ubuntustudio-default-settings source package in Jammy: In Progress Bug description: See description below. As the driver manager is done inside software- properties-qt, it's basically the same bug, but now it's affected by something we can't exactly get into the mechanism of: plasma- discover's "Software Sources" link. Steps to recrate: 1) Open Plasma-discover 2) Go to Settings 3) Under click on "Software Sources" 4) Attempt to enter password Expected: Software properties opens Actual: Pkexec keeps asking for password. ------ Earlier description: The driver manager for both Ubuntu Studio and Kubuntu can no longer launch due to some updated security measures in PolicyKit. The original behavior was that systemsettings would open /usr/bin/ubuntustudio-driver-manager (or /usr/bin/kubuntu-driver- manger) via pkexec, which would then open software-settings-qt. Unfortunately, the new behavior does not act correctly to pkexec and pkexec does not see the user as available in the sudoers file. The only way around this was to pass "export DISPLAY=:0" inside the appropriate driver manager executable with the command "sudo software- properties-qt". The KCM itself needs to execute the driver-manager via xterm, which then prompts for a password. It's ugly, but it works. I will attach a debdiff for the kubuntu-settings package.
