I was able to reproduce the problem, but only using the flash plugin: Jan 31 23:38:34 tigreraye kernel: [221147.141240] audit: type=1400 audit(1485902314.881:3406): apparmor="DENIED" operation="mknod" profile="/usr/lib/firefox/firefox{,*[^s][^h]}" name="/dev/shm/org.chromium.CvbXEt" pid=11592 comm="plugin-containe" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000 Jan 31 23:38:34 tigreraye kernel: [221147.141263] audit: type=1400 audit(1485902314.881:3407): apparmor="DENIED" operation="mknod" profile="/usr/lib/firefox/firefox{,*[^s][^h]}" name="/dev/shm/org.chromium.5Am9iK" pid=11592 comm="plugin-containe" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000
I also tried the java plugin, but it does not use /dev/shm (it fails, but for another reason): Jan 31 23:43:49 tigreraye kernel: [221461.300441] audit: type=1400 audit(1485902629.062:6116995): apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec" profile="/usr/lib/firefox/firefox{,*[^s][^h]}" name="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java" pid=11779 comm="plugin-containe" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 Jan 31 23:43:49 tigreraye kernel: [221461.301683] audit: type=1400 audit(1485902629.062:6116996): apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec" profile="/usr/lib/firefox/firefox{,*[^s][^h]}" name="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java" pid=11780 comm="plugin-containe" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1495248 Title: usr.bin.firefox blocks /dev/shm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1495248/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
