Hey Jamie, sorry but it seems that issue didn't get fixed, see bug #1799688
The denied error states name="/tmp/gnome-desktop-thumbnailer.png" or your rule is "owner /tmp/{,.}gnome_desktop_thumbnail.* w," there is at least a mismatch _ vs - in the filename but also "thumnail.*" seems to not work, if I replace ".*" by "er.png" (e.g the exact filename) then nautilus starts showing the pdf previews (I tested by copying a pdf as a new bug.pdf name) ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Confirmed -- 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/1798091 Title: thumbnailer cannot create tempfiles (with apparmor denials) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1798091/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
