For some reason, Acroread has stopped working. No great loss, I
know, but I'd like to know what's going on. In /var/log/messages, I

Jan 22 19:32:45 linux kernel: SubDomain: REJECTING r access to
/bin/bash (acroread(13724) profile /usr/X11R6/bin/acroread active

Huh? Anyone have any ideas?
Was this after todays security update?
ciao, Marcus
Hi Marcus,
Yes and no. I've done the upgrade, but the problems started
yesterday. I'll have a go at AppArmor and "report back"
:)
Peter
Reporting back as promised.
Yes, it did seem to be AppArmor. I had to go through several iterations
of the Wizard because setting one problem to "Allow" or "Inherit"
(depending on what it offered me) caused a different problem the next
time round. However after about half a dozen times around the block, it
allowed acroread to run as before.
Just to give you an example of what it was asking as it iterated, it was
asking for permission on things like /bin/bash/ls - which I guess is to
allow it to list files in the file open dialog ...
There were also some other restrictions that AppArmor reported on Apache
and on Zend. I clicked to allow those as well, which I hope hasn't done
any harm. I can't imagine why it should.
Please let me know if you think I've done anything I shouldn't; but at
least things are working again.
Thanks
Peter
