This happens because of sanitized environment in the ubiquity.desktop file.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ grep ^Exec= /usr/share/applications/ubiquity.desktop Exec=sudo --preserve-env=DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS,XDG_RUNTIME_DIR sh -c 'ubiquity gtk_ui' Please add the $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS environment variable into the whitelist to fix the issue. You can find among autotests a complete list of environment variables that may affect xdg-utils. https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/tree/autotests/test- lib.sh?id=b866789ac7e7ae8d62dbc52256ba758df0db17f7#n203 ** Package changed: xdg-utils (Ubuntu) => ubiquity (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xdg-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1945658 Title: Link to release notes on Ubiquity language plugin page is opened with gedit Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Reproducible only during Live session. See comment #2. Ubuntu Impish daily-live 20210930 ubiquity 21.10.6 xdg-utils 1.1.3-2ubuntu2 Commit 33e306c9d77c6688e02d0cbae9a1d86f404272d3 to ubiquity changed sensible-browser to xdg-open to open hyperlinks. Now, for some reason the link to the release notes http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes?os=ubuntu&ver=21.10&lang=${LANG} is opened with gedit. Desktop files for both gedit and firefox show correct values for MimeType, however, xdg-mime query default text/xml outputs org.gnome.gedit.desktop /etc/mailcap still points to text/html; /usr/bin/sensible-browser For now, I propose to revert the last commit, at least until the bug is fixed.
