Bug Description

On a new installation of Kubuntu 22.04, running Wayland, I am unable to launch the Additional Drivers tool. If I try to do so from either the KDE settings or command line I receive the following errors:

sudo kubuntu-driver-manager
Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display :0
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: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.

Re-installing with the following command has not helped:

sudo apt install --reinstall kubuntu-settings-desktop
