See upstream bug: KDE bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452532 Examples: Launch Kubuntu driver manager from system setting, launching ksystemlog from the main menu, or trying to run krusader root mode option via its 'Tools > Start Krusader Root Mode' menu entry. Assuming that the current user is a member of the sudo group. On entering the correct password authentication is refused, stating that possibly an incorrect password has been entered. It appears that kdesu fails to cope with the sudo config change in this commit: https://salsa.debian.org/sudo- team/sudo/-/commit/59db341d46aa4c26b54c1270e69f2562e7f3d751 kdesu was fixed in Debian with: https://tracker.debian.org/news/1330116/accepted-kdesu-5940-2-source- into-unstable/ and fixed in kinetic with: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdesu/5.94.0-0ubuntu2 The issue can be worked around by adding /etc/sudoers.d/kdesu-sudoers with the contents Defaults!/usr/lib/*/libexec/kf5/kdesu_stub !use_pty [Impact] * Users are unable to authenticate to and launch applications via kdesu. * This should be backported to restore functionality that users expect. [Test Plan] * Launch Kubuntu driver manager from system setting, launching ksystemlog from the main menu, or trying to run krusader root mode option via its 'Tools > Start Krusader Root Mode' menu entry. Assuming that the current user is a member of the sudo group. * Confirm that the application authentcate and launch as successfully as in previous releases. [Where problems could occur] * While this update only returns sudo to its default behaviour (used in previous releases and virtually all other distributions) for kdesu, care should be taken to test some other applications that seek root permissions to confirm that no unexpected consequences occur.
