Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm-guest-session

it is not possible to view flash content in a guest session.

if i run firefox from a terminal i get

guest@oberon-test:/usr/lib/firefox$ firefox
/usr/bin/linux32: /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin: Permission denied

flash works fine in a real session

Sounds like an AppArmor profile issue. Can you please do "dmesg > /tmp/dmesg.txt" right after this happens (switch back to your normal session before) and attach /tmp/dmesg.txt here?

i was able to get the dmesg log from within the guest session, should that not be possible?

No, that should be possible. I don't see anything wrong with being
able to do so, do you?

no. I just wondered why you asked me to switch back to the normal session.

thanks for fixing this.
