I have recently installed Kubuntu 20.10 and since yesterday I am getting following error whenever I am trying to remove or install something from Discover.
Below is the output when I tried to execute it from the Konsole.
Can someone please help? |

looks like something is missing. You should run the following 3 commands in a konsole to make sure you are up-to-date and nothing is missing or badly configured:
Currently running Kubuntu 20.10, Plasma 5.19.5, Frameworks 5.74.0, Qt 5.14.2, kernel 5.8.0-38, AMD RENOiR Graphics
FWIW: it is always useful to state the exact Plasma version and distribution when asking questions, makes it easier for us to help ... |

Thank you for your reply. I ran the above commands, there were no packages to upgrade and the third command didn't return anything. I am still getting the same error message -> "Failed to get authentication" after opening Discover and "You have no authorization to execute this operation" after clicking on install or remove. Is there a way I can uninstall and install Plasma Discover again? Would that remove the older configuration and correct the things? If yes, what would be the safe way to uninstall and reinstall? |

How do you start Discover? From the menu? Make sure you do not try to start it as root, that wouldn't work
no need to remove it, you can force-reinstall it, that would get back eventual lost dependencies:
Currently running Kubuntu 20.10, Plasma 5.19.5, Frameworks 5.74.0, Qt 5.14.2, kernel 5.8.0-38, AMD RENOiR Graphics

I have tried to open it through the application launcher, desktop shortcut and install button on the KDE website application. In all the cases, I am getting this error message. I have tried to force-reinstall as per the method you have suggested and tried to actually remove and clean install it hoping some configurations file that's messing with this would be removed, but no avail. I am still getting the same error message. Here are some of the relevant logs entries from Journald.

I fixed it by running following command on Konsole.
Later on, I completely removed the chrome-remote-desktop package from Synaptics. I think, below command should also work if trying to remove from Konsole.
