How to open the terminal from inside a snap application?

Question

When i am trying to open my repo in the terminal from the Gitkraken GUI. It states:

There is no terminal configured in your settings. Would you like to configure your terminal now?

Next, I manually set the gnome terminal as custom terminal command with gnome-terminal %d. The keyword %d should be replaced with the repo path. Running this in a terminal works. However in Gitkraken i get:

Command failed. gnome-terminal path/to/repo /bin/sh 1: gnome-terminal: not-found

How do i setup gnome terminal as the default terminal for gitkraken. I am running Ubuntu 18.04.

Edit:

I see that GitKraken is runnig inside a snap. I have broaden the question to how to run a linux command from inside a snap.

Today i learned about snap confinement.

A snap’s confinement level is the degree of isolation it has from your system.

To allow access to your system’s resources in much the same way traditional packages do You should install the snap with the --classic parameter.

snap install gitkraken --classic

When doing this, I get "Warning: flag --classic ignored for strictly confined snap gitkraken". – Stiefel Jul 26 '19 at 11:50
hmmm I am on a Arch system now. But maybe run the command with sudo ? – Florian Jul 27 '19 at 13:10
