Bug Description
If I open Discover (click on the Updates button in the System Tray) and select Settings then next to the Default source is a "Software Sources" button.
Hovering over this it says, "Configure the sources for installable software and updates"
Clicking on this is supposed to produce a new window allowing me to configure various things (based on pre-23.04 releases).
BUT this one does nothing.
Probably because of this:
==========
[gmllaptop]: pkexec /usr/bin/
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-
Aborted (core dumped)

The terminal output is a red herring because that woudln't work anyhow as some recent changes to policykit wouldn't allow that.
Behind the scenes, discover uses kdesu, not pkexec, so that might be worth investigating.
