How do you normally run GnuCash? Do you have an icon on Ubuntu? Most likely, you have installed the flatpack version, and the command is just off. I have GnuCash 5.8 on Ubuntu 22.04LTS and it is flatback (if I did the install, it would install 4.8). I would definitely uninstall the 4.8 version from Ubuntu. It may be worth re-installing the 5.8 GnuCash, which I think was done via flatpak.
You can see what's installed via flatpak by issuing the command "flatpak list". I have org.gnucash.GnuCash listed. I almost hate to ask this, but the command Bruce gave assumes you are running the default shell (bash - check with "echo $SHELL"). I'm not sure why the run command didn't work properly.
