[Bug 1969804] Re: unable to authenticate some appllications for sudo access in jammy

[Beyil]

Workaround... using sudo pkexec /usr/bin/grub-customizer or pkexec
/usr/bin/grub-customizer allows the command to run after correct
password is entered

Bug description:
  VirtualBox Version 6.1.34 r150636 (Qt5.6.2) machine running Kubuntu
  (upgraded from Impish to Jammy via "pkexec do-release-upgrade -m
  desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE -d" command at 11:21 21 apr 2022 UTC

  Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Kubuntu)

  grub-customizer version 5.1.0-3build1

  
  expected: application asked for password to authorize for sudo (root) privileges to run then for it to run...

  
  happened: administrator level account is unable to authorize application to run.

  same type of reaction to issue #1965439 for software-properties-qt
  which also happens here
