Adding the line: capability dac_read_search, to the cups-pdf section of /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd allows cups-pdf to function as expected in cases where ~/PDF/ exists with permissions 700, and $HOME also has 700 permissions.
This is unusual, as AppArmor should not be interfering with the stat function calls in cups-pdf. From the AppArmor Technical Documentation provided in the apparmor-docs package: "Stat. Retrieving information about files is always allowed. We believe that providing policy for file information retrieval is more troublesome than the benefit it would provide." I am unsure if the failure of cups-pdf's stat call is the result of a bug in AppArmor itself, or an overly restrictive AppArmor profile for the cups package. -- apparmor prevent cups-pdf to create ~/PDF folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270046 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
