[Bug 1945658] Re: All hyperlinks provided by Ubiquity are opened with gedit

[Olivier Tilloy]

Very nice catch Nicholas! I can confirm that modifying the ubiquity
desktop file in a live session to add XDG_DATA_DIRS to the list of
preserved environment variables fixes the bug indeed.

Title:
  All hyperlinks provided by Ubiquity are opened with gedit

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Reproducible only during Live session. See comment #2.

  Ubuntu Impish daily-live 20210930
  ubiquity 21.10.6
  xdg-utils 1.1.3-2ubuntu2

  Commit 33e306c9d77c6688e02d0cbae9a1d86f404272d3 to ubiquity changed
  sensible-browser to xdg-open to open hyperlinks.

  As a result, all hyperlinks are opened with gedit.

  Per comment #4 by mymedia: 
  — This happens because of sanitized environment in the ubiquity.desktop file.

  Starting up ubiquity through shell with $XDG_DATA_DIRS included fixes
  it.
