Public bug reported:
Description:
I am unable to digitally sign PDF documents in Gnome Papers using my hardware
device "Giesecke & Devrient GmbH StarSign CUT S" with a certificate. The
signing process fails due to AppArmor blocking access to necessary directories.
Affected Directories:
AppArmor restricts Gnome Papers from accessing the following paths:
~/.pki/nssdb
/sys/devices/
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Gnome Papers.
2. Attempt to sign a PDF using the "Sign Digitally" feature with a hardware
security device.
3. The signing process fails due to restricted access.
Workaround:
Manually editing the AppArmor profile resolves the issue:
Open the file "/etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.papers" and add the following lines:
owner @{HOME}/.pki/** lrk,
/sys/devices/** r,
/run/pcscd/pcscd.comm rw,
Reload AppArmor:
sudo systemctl restart apparmor
Expected Behavior:
Gnome Papers should be able to access the necessary directories and sign PDFs
using the hardware device without requiring manual AppArmor modifications.
