Title:
Evince cannot open external links with Firefox
Status in AppArmor Linux application security framework:
New
Bug description:
I could open weblinks from Evince using Firefox under Ubuntu 10.04
since summer 2011 until today (2012-05-09), when I received
"permission denied" the first time.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingApparmor and /var/log/kern.log
indicated a problem with AppArmor. Following
https://bugs.launchpad.net/apparmor/+bug/605586, I found
/etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/ubuntu-browsers as of – I think it was
2009, now that I changed it I cannot retrieve the former modification
date, funny ... and there:
# this should cover all firefox browsers and versions (including shiretoko
# and abrowser)
/usr/lib/firefox-*/firefox.sh PUx,
Instead, I found /usr/lib/firefox/firefox.sh, and so essentially
changed the last line into
/usr/lib/firefox*/firefox.sh PUx,
(just removing hyphen) which solved the problem.
So this is more basic than #605586 in that exo-helper is not involved,
while the latter bug report provided the idea that the problem is in
ubuntu-browsers.
The reason may have been that I called a major upgrade yesterday
(2012-05-09) after many weeks. I took me to linux-generic 2.6.32.41.48
and from Firefox 10.0.2 to Firefox 12.0 ...
The same day (today), exactly the same problem with Evince and Firefox
was reported by a different Ubuntu user in German:
