Bug Description
TO REPRODUCE:
I attempt to open a URL from a PDF document in Evince.
EXPECTED:
The browser opens the URL.
OBSERVED:
I'm shown an error message:
Unable to open external link
Failed to execute child process “/usr/bin/
journalctl shows:
Nov 06 19:19:18 khaeru-laptop audit[22110]: AVC apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec" profile=
Nov 06 19:19:18 khaeru-laptop kernel: audit: type=1400 audit(151001395
EXTRA INFORMATION:
- As the messages imply, I'm using Google Chrome "unstable".
- The file
/usr/
…is symlinked to:
/opt/
- I note that previous bugs, eg. bug #964510, resulted in lines being added to
/etc/
/opt/

This should be easy to fix with something very similar to https:/ /gitlab. com/apparmor/ apparmor/ merge_requests/ 7. While I'm at it I'll check that google- chrome- stable works too.
