09:09 < jdstrand> oSoMoN: we can't fix that in apparmor easyprof
09:10 < jdstrand> oSoMoN: not in a stable update. it will regenerate all
                  apparmor policy for webapps
09:10 < jdstrand> oSoMoN: which is a time consuming operation
09:10 < jdstrand> oSoMoN: it can be fixed in the 16.04 policy
09:10 < oSoMoN> jdstrand, how can we proceed then? other apps embedding a
                webview are going to hit the same issue, I’d think
09:10 < jdstrand> oSoMoN: it can be fixed in the 16.04 policy
09:11 < jdstrand> oSoMoN: the phone is fine
09:11 < oSoMoN> yes, the issue is desktop-specific
09:11 < jdstrand> oSoMoN: what other apps are you talking about?
09:11 < jdstrand> oSoMoN: personal will use the 16.04 policy, which can be fixed
09:12 < oSoMoN> jdstrand, I don’t have any specific example, I guess any app
                with a webview that runs confined, on desktop, will get the
                denials
09:12 < jdstrand> so, I think the path forward is fix webbrowser-app today (use
                  write_path) and then have the 16.04 policy fix this
09:12 < jdstrand> oSoMoN: yes, but those things don't run on the desktop today
09:12 < jdstrand> they will in personal
09:13 < jdstrand> but personal isn't until 16.04 or later
