Which ‘respective person’ ?I am running Ubuntu 22.04 downloaded from the public website: Whether we like it or not Ubuntu ships with most applications now implemented as a snap delivery. I am in effect my own system admin, so I don’t know who you think I should talk to - I can’t change the Ubuntu reliance on snap or change how pgadmin is delivered.on Ubuntu 22.04 the official delivery of PgAdmin and most other is via snap - it maybe not be the intention of the pgadmin developers but there is very little I can do as a single user to change that Ubuntu policy. It seems to me that the pgadmin team need to be the ones who are aware of how one of their supported operating systems delivers their software, and how that delivery potentially impacts the key features of the pgadmin tool. How the development team handle that is far beyond my knowledge- I don’t know if the snap ‘sandbox’ can be relaxed for pgadmin, or if pgadmin can be delivered via an alternative repository (if indeed snap is the issue here).

Just a thought,
Could this be an issue with the pgadmin being a snap deliverable - I know that snap does some odd things with sandboxing.
Thank you for your support so far.

the pg_dump program links to /usr/share/postgresql-common/pg_wrapper which also has world execute permission - so that isn't a problem either.

In Preferences I have the path for PostGre 12 set to '/usr/bin/', and I have confirmed that that pg_dump utility exists in /usr/bin directory, and I can run pg_dump from the command line.
However when I select 'backup' for my database in pgAdmin4, it generates an error saying `/usr/bin/pg_dump' not found (despite it being there).
What is the problem here ?
