Upgraded Lubuntu on my laptop to 20.04 and noticed that I can no longer run apps such as gparted by selecting in from the menu. When clicked I am asked to provide the password and after that nothing happens. However, I can start gparted from terminal using sudo without any issues.
After searching a lot I found that this is a known bug with Lxqt - essentially you cannot have two users in the sudo group. So the simple workaround is to remove the second (and/or any others) from the sudo group by issuing
deluser <second user> sudo
The problem has been raised by derk here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/685817

Hope this helps anyone else who has come across this issue.
