*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 447292 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447292
The story of this bug is a little bit different from bug #447292 as I
have normal (or lazy) setting of Ubuntu 9.10 with my home directory in
/home folder.
I have some extra fonts installed which changed file
/etc/fonts/font.conf and /etc/fonts/conf.d/. This pushed me to the same
issue of this bug.
I checked the apparmor profile for evince, noticed that no permission
granted to access the font configuration. I did this to fix this issue
in a simple way (although I'm not sure if this will involve any security
issues as mentioned in bug #447292)
1. Stop apparmor
sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor stop
2. Modify file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince
put this new line underneath line 9 #include <abstractions/evince>
#include <abstractions/fonts>
3. Restart apparmor
sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor start
and the evince boy is back
So the discussion is: shall we prevent evince from font configuration
due to security reasons?
Thanks.
