Firefox opened up a Evince instance for viewing a PDF document, Evince couldn't save in /var/www/anything either. Seems the permissions problem propagates to applications launched by Firefox.
I saved a copy of the PDF in my Desktop, then later I moved it to /var/www/anything, I opened it up from there with Evince and saved a copy in the same folder without problems. So I think it confirms it's because Firefox launched Evince with it's own restrictions. -- Firefox 3.5 can't write into /var/www/anything even if "anything"'s owner is me. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439484 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
