I have modified webbrowser-app’s apparmor profile to refer to "@{HOME}/@{XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR}/" instead of "@{HOME}/Downloads/", but that alone is not enough, I’m still getting the same error on my system with a French locale.
Next I edited /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/xdg-user-dirs.d/site.local to set the value of @{XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR} to "Téléchargements", reloaded the webbrowser-app profile, and that worked. I’ll go ahead and submit a change to the browser policy to use @{XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR}, that can’t hurt either way. However we’ll still be missing a mechanism that automatically sets the value of that variable based on the user’s locale (third bullet point in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/1061693/comments/1). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1535666 Title: Downloading files fails on non-English systems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1535666/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
