When trying to select a custom wallpaper to add to the Backgrounds page of Budgie Control Center, the "Add Picture" button will open a dialog to select an image file. However, there will be no thumbnail of the image displayed in this dialog, the "Open" button will remain insensitive, and double-clicking the file name will have no effect. The only option is to cancel out of the dialog.
Steps to reproduce:
On Ubuntu Budgie Noble / Oracular:
- open Budgie Control Center
- Navigate to the Backgrounds page and click the "Add Picture" button in the top right title bar.
- When the file chooser dialog opens, select an image file.
What I would expect to happen:
I would expect the thumbnail to update in the lower right, and the "Open" button to become enabled.
What happened instead:
The "Open" button remains disabled, and the thumbnail is shown as a "?".
Additional information:
This is due to AppArmor changes preventing certain apps doing deemed security related issues in userspace.
Running budgie-control-center from the terminal illustrates the issue with thumbnails with the following output:
