[Bug 904001] [NEW] Can't start evince over SSH tunnel X session

 

Public bug reported:

For example,

        $ cat /etc/issue
        Ubuntu 11.10 \n \l
        
        $ ssh -X chimera
        Welcome to Ubuntu 11.10 (GNU/Linux 3.0.0-13-generic x86_64)

         * Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com/

        35 packages can be updated.
        8 updates are security updates.

        $ evince ~/hello.pdf
        Failed to get bus connection: Command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=4ecb6d54129c67693bce6dc900000006 --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 1: EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon\n

In /var/log/syslog on chimera I see messages of the following form,

        Dec 13 18:17:35 chimera kernel: [1115999.980510] type=1400
audit(1323818255.844:124): apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec"
parent=29637 profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="/bin/dbus-daemon" pid=29638
comm="dbus-launch" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" fsuid=1000 ouid=0

Therefore, it seems this is likely related to bug #566207.
