Description Jonathon Robison 2006-02-06 14:39:28 UTC

I keep the majority of my files in an CIF-mounted directory.  I saved three web pages to that directory while investigating trouble with heat control on my laptop. Not one got saved.

It also failed to save in my home directory (not CIF mounted) but my memory recall on that one is too fuzzy to verify. I can 100% verify the trouble with CIF mounts.

I altered the Firefox profile in AppArmor to unhindered, and still couldn't do it. Yes, I verified manual write to the directory, etc. using both command line and OpenOffice.

I have been told that in 10.1, the firefox profile has been removed from AppArmor. I think that's a mistake (after all, it's a major source of external net traffic), but if that is the only fix, we should update the profiles for 10.0 to match and push them out.

If apparmor is blocking you should see a rejection in  /var/log/messages.

Running logprof should allow you to modify your profile to include any rejections that you actually would like to be allowed.

I will validate the CIF-mount directories and update the status here.

The firefox profile may not be enabled by default but will ship as an extra profile that can be enabled.

Thanks for reporting this.

Visiting older bugs.

Was there ever any action on this bug?

Is this still a problem in more recent versions of openSUSE?

Can this bug be updated to reflect more recent versions of openSUSE (10.2 or Factory)?
