Public bug reported:
Hardware is an HP Z220 SFF Workstation, 256 GB SSD + 1 TB SSD, 32 GB
RAM, UEFI, no secure boot. Testing was done within a Gnome Boxes VM,
SeaBIOS, 4 GB RAM, Kubuntu Kinetic live session.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1: Open the Application Menu.
2: Type "KSystemLog".
3: Click "KSystemLog".
4: Hit Alt+F2 to bring up KRunner.
5: Type "KSystemLog".
6: Press Enter.
7: Open the Application Menu, and click "Konsole".
8: Type "ksystemlog", and press Enter.
Expected result: KSystemLog should launch every time you attempt to run it.
Actual result: KSystemLog only launches when executed from the terminal.
Extra details:
If I run KSystemLog from the terminal, then attempt to open it again
from the Application Menu while KSystemLog is open, the following lines
immediately appear in the logs:
5/18/22 10:31 PM systemd Started KSystemLog - System Log Viewer.

I'm guessing this is probably related to the kdesu bug here:
