Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evince
The Zotero reference manager is an extension for firefox to make it easy to collect/manage academic papers and related metadata: http://www.zotero.org/ It stores downloaded PDFs under ~/.mozilla/firefox/<whatever>.default/zotero/storage Since upgrading to karmic, I can no longer open any of my papers stored in Zotero, because the evince apparmor profile apparently disallows access to files with this kind of path. If I try, evince prints to the terminal a message like: Error: Couldn't open file '/home/njs/.mozilla/firefox/ywm6cmff.default/zotero/storage/11684/Bailey and Hahn - 2005 - Phoneme similarity and confusability.pdf': Permission denied. and in the GUI displays Unable to open document Error opening file: Permission denied If I run aa-complain /usr/bin/evince, then opening such files works again -- the problem is a line in abstractions/private-files-strict: audit deny @{HOME}/.mozilla/** mrwkl, I suppose the ideal solution would be for zotero to move its database out to a more sensible location. In the mean time, for karmic I suggest allowing rw access to @{HOME}/.mozilla/**/zotero/** so that files in the zotero database are treated like ordinary home directories. Here are the relevant lines out of dmesg: [82211.697841] type=1503 audit(1255328281.905:3389): operation="open" pid=32137 parent=1 profile="/usr/bin/evince" requested_mask="r::" denied_mask="r::" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000 name=2F686F6D652F6E6A732F2E6D6F7A696C6C612F66697265666F782F79776D36636D66662E64656661756C742F7A6F7465726F2F73746F726167652F31333938352F5361636B7320657420616C202D2031393734202D20412053696D706C6573742053797374656D617469637320666F7220746865204F7267616E697A6174696F6E206F66205475722E706466 [82211.698278] type=1503 audit(1255328281.905:3390): operation="open" pid=32137 parent=1 profile="/usr/bin/evince" requested_mask="r::" denied_mask="r::" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000 name=2F686F6D652F6E6A732F2E6D6F7A696C6C612F66697265666F782F79776D36636D66662E64656661756C742F7A6F7465726F2F73746F726167652F31333938352F5361636B7320657420616C202D2031393734202D20412053696D706C6573742053797374656D617469637320666F7220746865204F7267616E697A6174696F6E206F66205475722E706466 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Oct 11 22:55:57 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/evince Package: evince 2.28.0-0ubuntu2 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) SHELL=/usr/bin/zsh LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-13.43-generic SourcePackage: evince Uname: Linux 2.6.31-13-generic x86_64 mtime.conffile..etc.apparmor.d.usr.bin.evince: 2009-10-11T22:54:17 ** Affects: evince (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug -- [karmic] evince apparmor profile breaks zotero reference database https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449286 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
