Lubuntu 15.10 64bit, Lenovo t450s: I too see this issue. I have this fix in /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions /libvirt-qemu:
# allow serial console backed by pts chardev (LP: #1342083) /usr/lib/pt_chown ix, owner @{PROC}/0-9*/fd/ r, but still see an apparmor issue in /var/log/kern.log. But it does seem intermittent. If I reboot this system, it'll probably work again. kern.log: Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.173512] audit: type=1400 audit(1456338699.233:57): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_load" profile="unconfined" name="libvirt-5f4214d2-91d5-49ac-be10-dc1efa2ea391" pid=1541 comm="apparmor_parser" Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.173717] audit: type=1400 audit(1456338699.233:58): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_load" profile="unconfined" name="qemu_bridge_helper" pid=1541 comm="apparmor_parser" Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.218794] device vnet0 entered promiscuous mode Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.234823] virbr1: port 2(vnet0) entered listening state Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.234830] virbr1: port 2(vnet0) entered listening state Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.444422] audit: type=1400 audit(1456338699.505:59): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" profile="unconfined" name="libvirt-5f4214d2-91d5-49ac-be10-dc1efa2ea391" pid=1625 comm="apparmor_parser" Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.454929] audit: type=1400 audit(1456338699.517:60): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" profile="unconfined" name="qemu_bridge_helper" pid=1625 comm="apparmor_parser" Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.494790] device vnet1 entered promiscuous mode Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.510824] virbr2: port 2(vnet1) entered listening state Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.510837] virbr2: port 2(vnet1) entered listening state Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.658917] audit: type=1400 audit(1456338699.721:61): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" profile="unconfined" name="libvirt-5f4214d2-91d5-49ac-be10-dc1efa2ea391" pid=1696 comm="apparmor_parser" Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.667013] audit: type=1400 audit(1456338699.729:62): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" profile="unconfined" name="qemu_bridge_helper" pid=1696 comm="apparmor_parser" Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.732437] audit: type=1400 audit(1456338699.793:63): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="libvirt-5f4214d2-91d5-49ac-be10-dc1efa2ea391" name="/proc/1701/fd/" pid=1701 comm="qemu-system-x86" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=112 ouid=112 Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.733164] audit: type=1400 audit(1456338699.793:64): apparmor="DENIED" operation="capable" profile="libvirt-5f4214d2-91d5-49ac-be10-dc1efa2ea391" pid=1701 comm="pt_chown" capability=3 capname="fowner" Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.738959] virbr2: port 2(vnet1) entered disabled state Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.740443] device vnet1 left promiscuous mode Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.740446] virbr2: port 2(vnet1) entered disabled state Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.775011] virbr1: port 2(vnet0) entered disabled state Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.776808] device vnet0 left promiscuous mode Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s kernel: [68855.776812] virbr1: port 2(vnet0) entered disabled state Feb 24 10:31:39 rexs-t450s libvirtd[731]: failed to connect to monitor socket: No such process Feb 24 10:31:40 rexs-t450s kernel: [68856.019796] audit: type=1400 audit(1456338700.081:65): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_remove" profile="unconfined" name="libvirt-5f4214d2-91d5-49ac-be10-dc1efa2ea391" pid=1814 comm="apparmor_parser" ** Attachment added: "libvirt-qemu" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1342083/+attachment/4580222/+files/libvirt-qemu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1342083 Title: "Failed to create chardev" due to apparmor DENIED execute of "/usr/lib/pt_chown" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1342083/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
