[steps to reproduce] 1) run evince in a desktop session started from lightdm. If this bug has not been addressed, apparmor denials will be seen on the /run/lightdm/$USER/xauthority file in /var/log/syslog. [regression potential] The change in the patch for this bug is a slight loosening of the apparmor policy for X applications. The risk of an introduced regression is small. [original description] The default apparmor 'X' abstraction permits access to /{,var/}run/lightdm/authority/[0-9]*, ostensibly for the xauthority file. Except on Trusty, that's not where the xauthority file is. It is instead in /run/lightdm/$USER, and named "xauthority". I have had to udpated my apparmor configuration, lest apparmor convince Evince of being a filthy script kiddie, out to corrupt my xauth file. Please consider adding the following to the 'X' abstraction: owner /{,var/}run/lightdm/*/xauthority r, Relevant info: apparmor: Installed: 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5 Candidate: 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5 Version table: *** 2.8.95~2430-0ubuntu5 0 500 http://mirrors.mit.edu/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/1339727/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
