Sometime ago[1] ubuntu-release-upgrader was modified so that sudo is called with the `-E` so that environment variables are passed along to do-release-upgrade. While this was initially done for a specific environment variable it is also important that other environment variables are passed to do-release upgrade e.g. XDG_SESSION_TYPE. Looking at the diff I don't see `-E` but then again I don't know if lxqt-sudo supports that argument.

Regardless, you could provide some details about whether or not environment variables are passed to do-release-upgrade?
