Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
Trying to open a movie with vlc or totem from within evince. I get the
error: "Failed to execute child process vlc (Permission denied)". The
same with totem.
I have been looking at all the "apparmor prevents" bugs that have been
reported of late. DVI printing, chromium, etc... the package
maintainers' strategy has been to add an exceptions to the apparmor
profile as the bugs come in. May I comment that this is a ludicrous
situation? There are going to be numerous helper applications that
people might want to use within a PDF file... why is apparmor blocking
them all?
