[Bug 1973470] Re: Ubuntu-bug command can't find Firefox on Lubuntu Kinetic

[Benjamin Drung]

I figured out the reason: /usr/bin/apport-bug sets
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin but
firefox is a snap living in /snap/bin/firefox.

Bug description:
  Test hardware is an Elitebook 8570p, 16 GB RAM, 120 GB SSD.

  While reporting Bug #1973469, I discovered that ubuntu-bug was unable
  to open Firefox at the very end of the process. Sadly, I closed the
  terminal window that contained the initial error, but I was able to
  easily reproduce it reporting this bug. The full console output of
  "ubuntu-bug apport" on Lubuntu Kinetic is:

  I am unsure if this problem is in Apport or Lubuntu. ubuntu-bug works
  just fine for me on Ubuntu Kinetic, but not on Lubuntu. I suspect this
  is due to the Snap version of Firefox, but I don't know for sure.
  Since ubuntu-bug is what gave me the error, I'm filing this against
  Apport.
