The issue with subsequent downloads stuck at 0% is probably a different one, and should be investigated separately. Can you reproduce it if you simply remove the symlink (so that the Downloads folder is an actual folder in your home directory)? If so, please file a separate bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+filebug.
Otherwise, this confirms my initial suspicion that apparmor prevents transparently following symlinks. Not really sure what can/should be done about this. Jamie, do you have suggestions? Is this a use case we can support with the current state of things? ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - download to symlink + Downloads fail if Downloads folder is a symlink to SD card -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1549433 Title: Downloads fail if Downloads folder is a symlink to SD card Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi. My home folders (Documents, Downloads, Pictures and Videos) are symlinks from a folders with the same name from SD-Card in order to save internal storage. I made those symlinks with "ln -s -r" through a terminal. When I try to download a file, directly or just selecting option "open with" it fails. If I try to download, for example a PDF file and try to open with document viewer, document viewer will say: the files doesn't exists. If I try to download the file directly it will complete the downlad but the result will be the same. In the log I can find that: Failed moving file from "/home/phablet/.local/share/ubuntu-download-manager/webbrowser-app/Downloads/example.pdf" to "/home/phablet/Downloads/example.pdf http://paste.ubuntu.com/14848556/ Bq E4.5 ubuntu edition.
