The issue with subsequent downloads stuck at 0% is probably a different one, and should be investigated separately. Can you reproduce it if you simply remove the symlink (so that the Downloads folder is an actual folder in your home directory)? If so, please file a separate bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+filebug.
Otherwise, this confirms my initial suspicion that apparmor prevents transparently following symlinks. Not really sure what can/should be done about this. Jamie, do you have suggestions? Is this a use case we can support with the current state of things? ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - download to symlink + Downloads fail if Downloads folder is a symlink to SD card -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1549433 Title: Downloads fail if Downloads folder is a symlink to SD card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1549433/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
