Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 25.10 Questing, clean install without further modifications.
Transmission (BT Client) access to user Downloads directory is denied.
I think that the problem may be that several XDG variables are not
set/filled, for instance $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR.
The apparmor profiles that rely in any of these variables may lead to
authorization errors in their corresponding application. For instance
the "transmission" profile contains this definition:
# cat /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/transmission-common | grep -i xdg
owner @{HOME}/@{XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR}/ r,
owner @{HOME}/@{XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR}/** rw,
Additional info:
----------------
