[Bug 706327] [NEW] fail to attach a file from /var/log/

[dino99]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

natty i386 updated with firefox 4.0b9 from genuine natty repo

initial step: try to attach kernel.log requested on bug 705404 but fail without seeing error or warning
next step:  testing to attach a lighter weighted file but fail too

finally i've discovered that if i copy this file to /home, then i'm able
to attach it without issue. So the problem is about /var/log that dont
let upload a file on launchpad.

oem at oem-desktop:~$ ls -l /var/log/kernel.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 260K 2011-01-20 11:12 /var/log/kernel.log

oem at oem-desktop:~$ ls -l /home/oem/kernel.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 oem oem 260K 2011-01-20 11:12 /home/oem/kernel.log

original bug report 705404 closed by Robert Collins:
**** Ok, so this outside our control - its up to your browser (chrome/firefox etc) to make this work. I'm marking the task on Launchpad invalid as such - but feel free to open a bug on your browser.

Cheers,
Rob
