Public bug reported: The bug has something to do with the file associations and files in the tempdir directory. It started right after I upgraded from Ubuntu 21.04 to 21.10.
I have PDF files associated with Firefox. When I double-click them from, say, Thunderbird (my mail program), the file should automatically be loaded and displayed by Firefox. Firefox will load the file into the tempdir, a subdirectory in the /tmp directory. Which the program does, but when it tries to open the file Firefox reports that it can't find the file. This error also occurs when a drag-and-drop operation is used from the same directory. The error does not occur if the File->Open operation is used in Firefox. If the file is in one of my directories and I double-click the file icon, Firefox opens the file without a problem. So the association breaks if the file is in the tempdir directory or for this case /tmp/pid-15374 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 21.10 Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 1:21.10.9 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.13.0-40.45-generic 5.13.19 Uname: Linux 5.13.0-40-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu71.1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CrashDB: ubuntu CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Apr 29 08:02:26 2022 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-08-14 (988 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 19.04 "Disco Dingo" - Release amd64 (20190416) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: ubuntu-release-upgrader Symptom: release-upgrade UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to impish on 2022-04-23 (5 days ago) VarLogDistupgradeTermlog: ** Affects: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug dist-upgrade impish -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1970935 Title: File Association With Files in tempdir broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1970935/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
