New
Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installed
2. Login to Plasma session
3. Try to execute Kubuntu Device Drivers application using
pkexec kubuntu-driver-manager
Expected results:
* application launched normally with root rights
Actual results:
* application crashed with the following output in the terminal -
```
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though
it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be
initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: wayland-org.kde.kwin.qpa, dxcb, eglfs,
linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland,
wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.
