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

screen shot attached with terminals open and the error message with attempted bug report collection.

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