[Bug 1958055] Re: sudo apport-kde is in a different design (stripped XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package sudo - 1.9.10-3ubuntu1

---------------
sudo (1.9.10-3ubuntu1) kinetic; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - debian/control:
      + Build-Conflicts on fakeroot (<< 1.25.3-1.1ubuntu1)
    - debian/sudo[-ldap].manpages: install man/man8/sudo_root.8
    - debian/sudo[-ldap].init: delete init scripts, as they are no longer
      necessary.
    - debian/etc/pam.d/sudo[-i]:
      + Use pam_env to read /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale
        environment files. Reading ~/.pam_environment is not permitted due
        to security reasons.
    - debian/etc/sudoers:
      + also grant admin group sudo access
      + include /snap/bin in the secure_path
    - debian/tests/control: 03-getroot-ldap:
      + allow removal of 'sudo' in autopkgtest (SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=yes)
  * Dropped changes (applied in Debian):
    - debian/rules:
      + compile with --without-lecture --with-tty-tickets --enable-admin-flag
  * Add XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP to initial_keepenv_table for Qt to determine the
    correct theme (LP: #1958055)

sudo (1.9.10-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * some changes to 03-getroot-ldap autopkgtest to find out
    about ppc64el failure

sudo (1.9.10-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * upload to unstable (fixed autopkgtest is needed to allow
    adduser to migrate)

sudo (1.9.10-1) experimental; urgency=medium

  * new upstream version
    * unverified upstream changelog
    * implement workaround if /proc/self/stat is invalid.
      (Closes: #940533)
    * Fix compilation problem on kFreeBSD. (Closes: #1004909)
      (different fix than the Debian patch, disable Debian patch)
    * get rid of e-mails "problem with defaults entries" in sss
      configurations. (Closes: #793660)
    * regular expression support for sudoers. (Closes: #945366)
    * handle /proc/self/fd in qemu.
    * Apply Upstream Patch to allow test suite with non-english LANG
      https://bugzilla.sudo.ws/show_bug.cgi?id=1025
    * Apply Upstream Patch to allow test suite with faketime
  * re-introduce MVPROG patch that got lost in dh migration.
    Thanks to Vagrant Cascadian (Closes: #976307)
  * revert back to directly shipping the mask symlink in the package.
    Thanks to Michael Biebl (Closes: #1004730)
  * adopt configure changes from Ubuntu
    --without-lecture --with-tty-tickets --enable-admin-flag (Closes: #1006273)
  * fix wrong handling of --with-systemd-tmpfiles.d
  * bring OPTIONS up to date.
  * have upstream install docs directly to correct directory
  * let debhelper handle the upstream changelog
  * remove LICENSE.md in both packages
  * autopkgtest: send deluser stderr to null in cleanup
  * Add cron to autopkgtest 03-getroot-ldap dependencies
  * improve lintian overrides

Title:
  sudo apport-kde is in a different design (stripped
  XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP)

Status in sudo package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in sudo source package in Jammy:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Running ubuntu-bug as normal user has the correct theme (see
  screenshots attached to bug #1881640), but running "sudo ubuntu-bug"
  has a different, non-matching theme (see attached screenshot). This
  applies to all Qt applications.

  [Test Plan]

  This problem can be reproduce by running a KDE application on Ubuntu
  Desktop (GNOME):

  1. Launch ubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.iso
  2. Install apport-kde
  3. Run: /usr/share/apport/apport-kde -f
  4. Run: sudo /usr/share/apport/apport-kde -f
  5. Compare both windows. They have different icons and font size.

  Same result with KDE:

  1. Use kubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.iso
  2. Run ubuntu-bug -f
  3. Run: sudo ubuntu-bug -f

  [Analysis]

  Qt needs XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP to be set to determine the correct theme,
  but XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is not in the list of environment variables to
  preserve (and not in env_keep in /etc/sudoers).

  On other other hand, sudo preserves the DISPLAY environment variable:

  $ sudo env | grep -Ev '^(LC|LS|SUDO|LANG|COLOR|TERM|PATH)'
  XAUTHORITY=/run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority
  DISPLAY=:0
  MAIL=/var/mail/root
  LOGNAME=root
  USER=root
  HOME=/root
  SHELL=/bin/bash

  [Workaround]

  Prevent sudo from dropping XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP by running: sudo
  XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP /usr/share/apport/apport-kde
  -f
