Lubuntu 26.04 LTS - Software Sources not working

Flavors & Remixes Lubuntu

Hello,

The “Software Sources” app in the main menu under Preferences → Software sources doesn’t work on 26.04 LTS, the shortcut points to “-E software-properties-qt”, but if the “-E” is removed then it works.

Thanks

How do you remove the -E

Thanks

As a first aid you can use the terminal instead the launcher with command
sudo software-properties-qt

Addendum:
To fix the launcher please open the following file with featherpad
usr/share/applications/software-properties-lxqt.desktop
and change the entry
Exec=lxqt-sudo -E software-properties-qt
to
Exec=lxqt-sudo software-properties-qt
and safe it using your password.

After a fresh log-in the launcher works properly.

Today I upgraded to 26.04 LTS and saw that the issue still exists.
Therefore I’ve just reported a bug.
