This is the output if I open Firefox from the terminal.

Good spot with the two snapd installs. Please can you add that to your bug report and link the bug report here? I can confirm your observations. Certainly looks like a conflict in paths.
I am still trying upload my bug. I know apport is working because I reported a system problem.
It is stuck in the up load page refreshing every 10 seconds for around 20 minutes. Snaps are present and can be opened from the terminal with errors. Edit: Installed FF ESR from welcome while open.
Hello, I’m brave enough to install and test Ubuntu 25.04. But,When I double click on the install button, nothing happens. Please tell me, how I can install Ubuntu 25.04, so I can test this version.
I confirm, @Tukkie.
It’s a big step backwards in that respect.
If I trust the path of the installation launcher, it’s still a snap story.
I know nothing about development; but why publish an ISO in this case?
f you know anything about bash etc please can you look at /etc/profile.d/ and see if you can work out why the variable XDG_DATA_DIRS is missing /var/lib/snapd/desktop … that is the reason why snaps are not appearing in the menu. if you do append that to XDG_DATA_DIRS, export the variable and restart the panel (budgie-panel --replace &), then snaps reappear immediately.
It appears /etc/profile isnt being run. If you run that manually XDG_DATA_DIRS is modified correctly. Why /etc/profile isnt being run on logon i dont know. I know for certain it isnt anything the team has uploaded in this cycle
ok - have worked out what is the issue - basically ubuntu has replaced lightdm with the version from debian. This doesn’t include the ubuntu-only script that should have been run on logon. I’ve copied the noble session-wrapper called lightdm-session into budgie-artwork and updated our lightdm config file to use the budgie named script file budgie-lightdm-session in /usr/bin. Uploaded to launchpad. No idea though when this will pop into the archive and hit the ISO due to the huge glibc change kicked off this weekend. That impacts hundred and hundreds of packages in the archive.
I can confirm snaps are now shown in the live-session ISO and importantly the installer appears on bootup.
Do note - you HAVE TO use host 3D acceleration and 128Mb RAM graphics in virtualbox - and the equivalent for qemu for the installer to launch correctly.
