  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
+ As a result, all hyperlinks are opened with gedit.
  
- http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes?os=ubuntu&ver=21.10&lang=${LANG}
+ Per comment #4 by mymedia: 
+ — This happens because of sanitized environment in the ubiquity.desktop file.
  
- 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.
+ Starting up ubiquity through shell with $XDG_DATA_DIRS included fixes
+ it.
