Public bug reported: After logging in in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (all updates installed to date), an existing file ~/.recently-used.xbel disappears each time, which makes it easy to reproduce.
vmware player 4.0.x uses this file (probably via gtk) to store its list of recently opened VMs. Because this files gets deleted just after logging in, the list of available VMs in vmware player will be empty, and will have to be recreated. I have been unable to find which process deletes this file, or why. Apparently apparmor might have to do something with it (see apparmor config file), but I don't think so, since changing its config file to exclude this file doesn't resolve it. In my opinion deleting this file is a bug, or at least an undocumented feature where there should be an option to avoid the deletion. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apparmor gtk recently-used.xbel vmwareplayer -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007336 Title: ~/.recently-used.xbel disappearing after login vmware player empty vm list To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1007336/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
