".NET location: Not found" after following installation instructions on Ubuntu 22.04.1

[masto]

I don't know how to proceed from here. I think I've done everything just like it says on the tin. All the dependencies are there. What does it want from me?

Hello @masto, thanks for reporting this.

This looks to be a .NET SDK installation bug: dotnet/runtime#79237

From reading the comments in that issue it appears that the $DOTNET_ROOT may be set incorrectly and should be /usr/lib/dotnet instead. Do you have a .profile or .bashrc that is setting DOTNET_ROOT to /home/chris/.dotnet explicitly?

What happens if you set it to /usr/lib/dotnet?

[masto]

Thanks! Setting DOTNET_ROOT=/usr/lib/dotnet works, and that makes sense given that I installed the apt package. I had copied that environment setting along from another machine where I guess I installed it in my home directory.

I will follow up on the issue you referenced, as there is a bit of an issue with zsh.
