Comment 13 for bug 462419

For my previous postings, my file was the same as the one posted by Pausanias on 2009-11-10. The attached file is the current one (no time for a diff, its lunchtime - sry).

Just to prevent confusion - today I got some evince-related updates from the update-manager, and thus the /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/evince file changed. It asked me to keep my modified version or to get the current upstream version. I accepted the current upstream version, so my current file is not the same as posted by Pausanias on 2009-11-10. However, the changes were related to browsers and other stuff - totem, vlc, and videos were not involved. Consequently the problem remains unsolved. The current upstream version gives me the same errors as before. I'll now try to add the mystical two lines, again, and reload apparmor.

Unfortunately, nothing changed. The message in kern.log remains, telling

Nov 11 12:00:31 dell-xps kernel: [ 1098.989525] type=1503 audit(1257937231.565:30): operation="exec" pid=2418 parent=2417 profile="/usr/bin/evince" requested_mask="::x" denied_mask="::x" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 name="/usr/bin/totem"

Furthermore evince is unable to read the /etc/gnome/defaults.list

Anyways, I'm not able to change the default video player.. tried system->preferences->preferred applications, but the menu only talks about multimedia in general. In nautilus I can change the applications, but this is for media-insertion (like cds).
