Comment (by Mike Bibbings <mike.bibbings@…>):

 This issue is also present on  Xubuntu 16.04, Kubuntu 18.04 (Beta) mythtv
 from ppa:mythbuntu/0.29.

 Debian Stretch is also affected (mythtv built using mythtv/packaging i.e.
 as in https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Installing_MythTV_on_Debian)

 To narrow down the issue I modified dialog_functions.sh to echo some
 variables to see what is happening.
 The issue looks like it is in find_su() in
 /usr/share/mythtv/dialog_functions.sh or possibly find_session() this does
 not set anything for xubuntu or Debian Stretch, it does set up for
 Kubuntu, but again setting group membership fails kdesudo not found
