Description Dzmitry Prakapenka 2005-11-20 06:04:25 UTC 
When ApArmor is enabled, Opera displays "could not read directory" error message upon trying to save/download a file. Here is the screenshot:

It is still possible to dismiss the error message and save the file.
The error seems to disapear after disabling AppArmor & re-launching Opera.

Dzmitry, thank you for your report; if you would like to allow this access in your opera profile, please run "genprof opera" (and use opera as you normally do), or use the YaST interface to generate a profile for opera. (You can see a walkthrough of using genprof here: http://danieldk.org/apparmor//profile-example.html )

I'll make sure this access gets added to our profile set. Thanks.

Closing. This has been addressed by inclusion of user-download abstractions in openSUSE10.2 for the opera profile in extras. For users wanting write access to other directories either logprof (to adjust the opera profile) or hand modification to /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/user-download will configure the policy.
