[Bug 1842986] [NEW] [snap] libreoffice cannot open files in /tmp (e.g. opened by browser)

2019-09-05 Thread Reuben Thomas via ubuntu-bugs
Public bug reported: With the libreoffice snap, I get an error trying to open a .docx file from Firefox, saying that the file cannot be found. This appears to be because Firefox puts the file under /tmp, but libreoffice has a different /tmp in its process. ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu)

Thanks, Rex. I happen to be a GNOME user myself, but more importantly, I need an xdg-screensaver that works for users there. If you have any suggestions that you'd be happier with, I'm all ears. Note that we're talking about GNOME 3/gnome-shell, so gnome-screensaver can't be assumed. -- You

@pilotbob42, thanks for the extra material. From looking at the patch and MATE thread it seems the main difference is that MATE uses a different DBus path for its screen saver; unfortunately, this is already taken account of in the current xdg-screensaver, so the actual problem must be some other
