If I remember correctly, TeXstudio has its own section to configure the 
$PATH.

The terminal takes the $PATH from what you specified according to TUG 
instructions, but I think TeXstudio comes preconfigured for TeX et al. 
to the usual path of Linux distributions.

Here is an (very old) reply that deals with the issue:

Maybe it can help you.
