Public bug reported: Nemo is unable to generate ebooks thumbnails over SMB share because of evince-thumbnailer apparmor profile(note that Nautilus is able to do it anyway), i removed apparmor to see and it fixed that issue.
Nemo output when generating thumbs: ----------------------------------------------------- (nemo:31811): CinnamonDesktop-WARNING **: 01:08:30.200: Error creating thumbnail for smb://akem-hp.local/comics_bds_mangas/Scrooge/Uncle%20Scrooge%20(001-100)%20GetComics.INFO/029%20Uncle%20Scrooge.cbr: Unrecognized image file format Error loading remote document: An AppArmor policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient; type="method_call", sender=":1.243" (uid=1000 pid=1488 comm="evince-thumbnailer -s 128 smb://akem-hp.local/comi" label="/usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer (enforce)") interface="org.gtk.vfs.MountTracker" member="LookupMount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.10" (uid=1000 pid=1725 comm="/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd " label="unconfined") (nemo:31811): CinnamonDesktop-WARNING **: 01:08:30.365: Unable to create loader for mime type application/x-cbr: Unrecognized image file format ----------------------------------------------------- Note that it does the same with pdf or some other ebooks format. The problem happens in loopback too, just share a folder with ebooks using SMB, flush the thumbnails and open Nemo to that folder via Network(connect to the SMB).
