Public bug reported: Cinnamon uses "Nemo" /usr/bin/nemo as the file browser and default apparmor config is too strict and prevents "Open Containing Folder" feature from working and instead an error message will appear:
Failed to execute child process "nemo" (Permission denied)" A simple fix would be to add line /usr/bin/nemo Cx -> sanitized_helper, # Cinnamon below the line /usr/bin/thunar Cx -> sanitized_helper, # XFCE in file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince See also: bug 1022962 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: evince-common 3.18.2-1ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-24.43-lowlatency 4.4.10 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-24-lowlatency x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: X-Cinnamon Date: Wed Jul 13 15:27:14 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-02-23 (506 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20150218.1) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: evince UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-06-10 (33 days ago) mtime.conffile..etc.apparmor.d.usr.bin.evince: 2016-07-13T15:26:08.817770 ** Affects: evince (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apparmor apport-bug xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602662 Title: "Open containing folder" does not work with Nemo (Cinnamon desktop) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1602662/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
