Hello everyone. I've read the whole thread and I am experiencing a related bug.
My specific scenario is that I'm creating a PDF (by exporting from Emacs / Org-Mode) that contains a link to a local video. It may have been a recent change in an AppArmor that has resulted in the videos not opening anymore (or maybe a security patch?), but I'm not able to open either mp4 or webm videos like I could with mpv. I read the /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/evince file, and added the following to the /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.evince file: # vim:syntax=apparmor # # abstraction used by evince binaries # # supported archivers /usr/bin/mpv ixr, /usr/bin/totem ixr, /usr/bin/vlc ixr, After performing: rolandog@computer:~$ sudo apparmor_parser --reload /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince I get the following error: profile /usr/bin/evince: has merged rule /usr/bin/totem with conflicting x modifiers ERROR merging rules for profile /usr/bin/evince, failed to load Playback with mpv (the player I had set as default) still doesn't work (is blocked by AppArmor), and, after running the following command, I get the messages shown in the attached file: rolandog@computer:~$ grep audit /var/log/kern.log After removing the totem line I get a similar error, but for vlc. After removing both the totem line and the vlc line, I don't get an error (and I can launch mpv (the default I had set). However, I'm torn because this worked for me, but there may be others that may have similar use-cases to mine that would prefer other players. ** Attachment added: "Semi-anonymized matching audit kernel logs from rolandog" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/462419/+attachment/5509133/+files/rolandog-apparmor-kernel-audit.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462419 Title: evince apparmor profile prevents movies from opening To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/462419/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
