[Bug 212280] Re: cups-pdf printer not generating PDF file.
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 151190 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151190
cups-pdf's apparmor profile already uses the @{HOME} abstraction. So the
real problem here is that apparmor hardcodes that to be /home/$USER,
instead of using the actual home directory (which is /sp/home/$USER for
Hans). Therefore I am reassigning this to apparmor.
However, realistically I don't see this getting fixed anytime soon, so
I'm afraid if you are using nonstandard home directory locations, you
have to adapt the path in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd as well.

Change the @{HOMEDIRS} tunable to reflect the other locations. e.g.:
@{HOMEDIRS}=/home/ /sp/home/

Can you try this command in a terminal : sudo aa-complain cupsd And then try to print a PDF file?

apparmor is a security tool designed to prevent security flaw, however in that case, it refuses something that it shouldn't. Now that you successfully printed with cups-pdf, can you set cupsd back to aa-enforce mode, try to print with it and report if that worked? You can use that command to set back apparmor to enforce mode : sudo aa- enforce cupsd -- cups-pdf printer not generating PDF file. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212280 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

`sudo aa-enforce cupsd` causes the PDF printer to fail again. Now why all my systems I install Hardy on have this problem, yet 99% of the users don't? It must be something I do during the installation, but I have no clue what.

I have never fiddled with AppArmor. I have no clue how to work on it. I could hit the books and learn about it, but unfortunately I have other priorities, including my personal Open Source project Autopoweroff. I have an old /home/hans home directory, but it is not being used by any user. -- cups-pdf printer not generating PDF file. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212280 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 212280] Re: cups-pdf printer not generating PDF file.
I found that it fails if you don't have a 'PDF' directory in your home directory (since the default cups-pdf config is to print to ~/PDF). You can get away with permissions of 0701 on your home directory. The main thing is that other users have at least +x permission, so that cups-pdf can at least navigate to the 'PDF' directory within. This isn't as bad as 0777 on your home directory, because, even though other users will be able to chdir to your home dir, they won't be able to list the contents, or read/write/delete any files. If they guess directory names (ie, 'Documents'), they may be able to read stuff within those directories, depending on the dir/file permissions. -- cups-pdf printer not generating PDF file. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212280 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 212280] Re: cups-pdf printer not generating PDF file.
Nope, in my case it is not a permission problem. locust, you might be able to close your permission now that the directory is created and see if it still works. I have the problem on all my Ubuntu machines, though I copy my home directory from one to another. So it is probably something related with some configuration in my account. I have not tried with a fresh account (too lazy for that). -- cups-pdf printer not generating PDF file. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212280 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
