Description Ads20000 2018-12-17 22:45:29 UTC 
SUMMARY
One can't run snap commands in Konsole in the KDE snap session, nor can one run snaps in that session from the application menu.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run `snap install --edge --devmode plasma-desktop` on a snap-enabled system.
2. Run `sudo wget https://metadata.neon.kde.org/snap/plasma-snap.desktop -O /usr/share/xsessions/plasma-snap.desktop`
3. Log out of your current session and log into Plasma (snap)
4. Press Ctrl+Alt+T
5. Run `snap version`

OBSERVED RESULT
`bash: snap: command not found` or something like that!

EXPECTED RESULT
One can run `snap` commands in Konsole and they function as normal.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 18.10, core 2.36.3+git1063.bbf4a49~ubuntu16.04.1 (6148)  [edge]
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: master+3ffadd6 (4) [edge]
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.47.0 (27) [stable]
Qt Version: unsure

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2018-12-27 03:22:07 UTC 
please provide the output of `which snap` and `echo $PATH` from your normal session  as well as the Plasma snap session.
Comment 2 Ads20000 2018-12-28 01:32:52 UTC 
Ubuntu session:
```
$ which snap
/usr/bin/snap
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/snap/bin:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin
```

Plasma snap session:
```
$ which snap
$ echo $PATH
/snap/plasma-desktop/4/kinit/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kf5/:/home/adam/snap/plasma-desktop/common/bin:/snap/plasma-desktop/4:/snap/plasma-desktop/4/kinit/usr/bin:/snap/plasma-desktop/4//usr/bin:/snap/plasma-desktop/4//usr/sbin:/snap/plasma-desktop/4/usr/sbin:/snap/plasma-desktop/4/usr/bin:/snap/plasma-desktop/4/sbin:/snap/plasma-desktop/4/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
```

`which snap` has no output in the Plasma session.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2018-12-28 03:48:13 UTC 
Thanks for the info! When you're in the Plasma snap session, does `/usr/bin/snap` actually exist on the system? What does `ls /usr/bin/snap` say?

$ ls /usr/bin/snap
/usr/bin/snap

The directory exists.
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2019-01-16 03:14:38 UTC 
Very strange.

/usr/bin/snap exists. It's in your $PATH. Yet `which` can't find it, and neither can anything else.

I have no idea what could be causing this.
Comment 8 Harald Sitter 2019-04-01 10:17:21 UTC 
Problem with snapd itself, or rather, deficiency. What snapd needs is an interface to launch other snaps.
