(works fine)

Was lnav installed through the snap? It might be due to the sandboxing.

aah. Yeah, I installed it through the snap because the apt repo seemed to stop getting updates a while back. That explains it. Do you know if there is a way to allow lnav snap access to tmp? I suppose we'd have to do it manually ourselves, but that's fine for now.
