[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1965439] Re: software-properties-qt can no longer launch when called by pkexec
A kludge workaround this issue is to run the command: sudo software- properties-qt --open-tab=x (where x is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 [the 'tab' number]) from a konsole session. It at least allows one to access software-properties. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to policykit-1 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965439 Title: software-properties-qt can no longer launch when called by pkexec Status in kubuntu-settings package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntustudio-default-settings package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in kubuntu-settings source package in Jammy: In Progress Status in policykit-1 source package in Jammy: Confirmed 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.
