2016-10-14 10:20:19 Olivier Tilloy summary No audio from webbrowser-app in 16.10 U8 or U7 session No audio from webbrowser-app in 16.10
2016-10-14 10:22:31 Olivier Tilloy description Load the browser on 16.10 in either a U8 or U7 session. Browse to YouTube Play a video Notice there is no sound. Nor does the browser show in the sound menu/panel. I've attached the application-legacy-webbrowser-app-.log file which shows problems with "unknown pcm devices" Load the browser on 16.10 in either a U8 or U7 session. Browse to YouTube Play a video Notice there is no sound. Nor does the browser show in the sound menu/panel. TLDR: this is an apparmor confinement issue: on yakkety pulse audio needs write access to /{run,dev}/shm/pulse-shm*, which is being denied by the audio and microphone policy groups. The fix consists in punching an additional hole in the generated apparmor profile for webbrowser-app.

The fix consists in punching an additional hole in the generated apparmor profile for webbrowser-app. [Test case] Load the browser on 16.10 in either a U8 or U7 session. Browse to YouTube. Play a video. Notice there is no sound. Nor does the browser show in the sound menu/panel. TLDR: this is an apparmor confinement issue: on yakkety pulse audio needs write access to /{run,dev}/shm/pulse-shm*, which is being denied by the audio and microphone policy groups. The fix consists in punching an additional hole in the generated apparmor profile for webbrowser-app. [Regression potential] Low. As the fix consists in weakening the apparmor profile for webbrowser-app, the only concerns should be security-related. The change was ack’d by Jamie Strandboge (see comment #11 in this bug report). It is not anticipated that this change would make the browser’s functionality regress.
