Using this thread - none of it worked for me: How can I "provide proper authorization" to the KDE Software Updates program?

However when I click on Updates then it starts checking for any and shows them. I click on Install and it still shows: This operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided.

This used to work and prompt me for password.

I have: Kubuntu 18.04, KDE Plasma Ver: 5.12.7

Any guidance would be appreciated.

  • Please run sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade from a terminal. Is that successful? Do you see any messages / warnings / errors while doing so? Then run sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop in case you've accidentally deleted something that Discover needs. Then, run plasma-discover from a terminal to see if things are fixed; if not, the terminal output may provide you with clues. – DK Bose May 21 '19 at 01:29

I corrupted things so badly in that OS.. I went ahead and installed a clean version of Kubuntu 18.04, KDE Plasma Ver: 5.12.7 and built things back as needed.
