Muon Discover's "Configure Software Sources" does nothing. I have not tested Muon.

I got newest Muon 5.4.0 from staging ppa.

Now when "configure sources" is clicked, window asking password pops up, but after typing password nothing happens. Software-properties-kde windows doesn't open.

Nikola,

I also noticed this when installing latest 5.4 on top of 15.04. I got the password pop up but nothing.

I can confirm this on 15.10. I ran "kdesudo software-properties-kde" from a terminal and it returned

No command 'software-properties-kde' found, did you mean:
 Command 'software-properties-kde' from package 'software-properties-kde' (universe)
software-properties-kde: command not found

So I copied the command suggested into the clipboard, pasted it after typing "kdesudo", and it worked which is odd since the commands look identical.

There is a dependency missing: libkf5-bin needs to be installed, which did not get pulled in automatically during release upgrade on my system.

Issuing

sudo apt-get install libkf5su-bin

on the command line fixed the issue. In any case, the file
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kf5/kdesud

needs to be in place. Without libkf5su-bin just kdesu is installed in that location.

Greetings

fix from #8 works for me, thank you
(Kubuntu 15.10 upgrade from 15.04 with kubuntu-ppa backports)
