AppArmour fails to start

**CoolDemon** · September 11th, 2010

I have a strange problem with ubuntu AppArmor. I have removed (along with dependencies) it before and deleted /etc/apparmor. Now I am trying to install it again. Aptitude could install it successfully. But I am always getting lot of error while starting the service and eventually apparmor fails to start.

Any help? I am using ubuntu 10.04 server - x86 version.

Code:

root@ubuntu:~# service apparmor start

you can have information here :

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingApparmor

i add to the /etc/apparmor directory you can backup your apparmor directory and change with this ....

Thanks a lot for your help. Unfortunately it did not work out well.

You have sent me compressed /etc/apparmor.d/, perhaps you can also send me /etc/apparmor. I can try with that also.

My original idea was re-installing the package should solve this - unless there is some bug in the package.

Any other solution will also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
