[Bug 864992] Re: "Show Containing Folder" button failed to execute err

 

Uploaded 3.2.1-0ubuntu2.1 to oneiric-proposed. Waiting on approval.

** Description changed:

- Very nice new feature, but it didn't work. I clicked "Show Containing
- Folder"  and a red error message came up at the top of the window and
- said "Failed to execute Child process "Nautilus" (Permission Denied)
+ = Stable Release Update request =
+ 
+ Impact: multiple users are reporting that ths 'Show Containing Folder'
+ is broken in 11.10 and later.
+ 
+ Development fix: this is fixed in the development release in 3.2.1-1ubuntu5 by adding the following to debian/apparmor-profile:
+   /usr/bin/nautilus PUx,
+ 
+ Stable Fix: same as for development release
+ 
+ Test case: open a PDF, then do File/Show Containing Folder. Nautilus
+ should open.
+ 
+ Regression potential is considered very minimal as the patch only allows
+ more access.
