David, are you able to test the update in lucid-proposed to check whether it fixes the crash you reported? The proposed update fixes five Ubuntu bugs, and this is the only one left unvalidated.

Hi Colin I still get the same problem, but this is because my Windows drive is mounted in a non-standard location, no?

After a clean install of Lucid, my windows directory is definitely mounted as /windows, and I made no choice about that...

[Bug 490230] Re: cannot create directory outside of $HOME
I should clarify the position. /windows is a non-FHS directory that will not be supported by the shipped file (but can of course be adjusted by the user). FHS directories like /mnt and /media should be supported. I mistakenly thought this was already supported, but these are not. I adjust the profile accordingly. ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Importance: Low = Medium ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Status: Won't Fix = Triaged ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand) -- cannot create directory outside of $HOME https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
Re: [Bug 490230] Re: cannot create directory outside of $HOME
just read this after my previous comment. it's good that by default /media and /mnt will have these permissions. But... where did my /windows directory come from? didn't ubuntu put it there? at least, other people seem to have a /windows partition and I don't remember making that naming decision myself. -- cannot create directory outside of $HOME https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 490230] Re: cannot create directory outside of $HOME
David, At the moment only I can write to /windows: will your suggested workaround allow any user of evince to do it? -- Normal discretionary access controls are still in effect. By adding the rule I mentioned to your profile, users will have read and write access to /windows if normal unix permissions allow it. As for why /windows is there at all, I don't know. I do see in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab that the recommended place to mount your windows partition is /media/windows. If an Ubuntu application is creating and using directories outside of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), then that is a separate bug in that application. The evince AppArmor profile should support mountable media via FHS, and I will fix that. -- cannot create directory outside of $HOME https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
