David, "At the moment only I can write to /windows: will your suggested workaround allow any user of evince to do it?" -- Normal discretionary access controls are still in effect. By adding the rule I mentioned to your profile, users will have read and write access to /windows if normal unix permissions allow it.
As for why /windows is there at all, I don't know. I do see in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab that the recommended place to mount your windows partition is /media/windows. If an Ubuntu application is creating and using directories outside of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), then that is a separate bug in that application. The evince AppArmor profile should support mountable media via FHS, and I will fix that. -- cannot create directory outside of $HOME https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490230 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
