If you have the GITHUB plugin, add export KIGITHUB="https://github.com/KiCad"; to your ~/.profile file, log out and log back in and you should be good to go. Just make sure ~/.fp-lib-table is up to date. I thought that internally Pcbnew sets KIGITHUB to the correct URL when is not defined but I could be wrong. I'll take a look at it when I get a chance. If you don't want to use the GITHUB plugin, you can either use the legacy footprints that are installed as part of KiCad which typically are installed in /usr/share/kicad (at least on Debian based distros) or checkout the last legacy footprint library at lp:~dickelbeck/kicad/library-read-only. You will likely have to create you own ~/.fp-lib-table by either using the footprint library dialog in Pcbnew or CvPcb or create one using your favorite text editor. Please note that these footprints will never be updated. The GitHub plugin is the new default for footprint library management. If you do not use it, you will be responsible for maintaining all of your own footprint libraries and manually syncing changes with GitHub.
