Hi!,
MAFoElffen, I am back, again!, This time could you please tell me how to cure an AppArmor interface file missing problem??
The story is a long one but bare with me, I have highlighted the bit concerning me most.
My Win7 32Bit desktop had dual boot installations of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and 10.10, both of which were, with a lot of help from these forums, working well.
I wanted to upgrade to 11.10 but was put off by all the trouble I – and many others - had had with the upgrade process.
I have made both a 11.10 live CD and a live USB Starter Disk, which this computer will boot from, though my Vista desktop on which I made it, will not.
However, I could not get the install option to work without creating another partition, so I tried to install using dpkg and the mainline deb files for 3.0.0-12 to install it over 10.10.
The results were as follows:
Booting from the Grub menu to Ubuntu 10.04, 2.6.32-36, was, and still is, Ok, unaffected.
Booting to 10.10, 2.6.35-31 was OK, but see below.
Booting from either 11.10, 3.0.0-12-030012 or 11.10 recovery both gave a Blank black Screen with no cursor, but again, see below.
Editing the grub menu 3.0.0-12 Linux/boot line to read ' --verbose single' ran to a line and paused followed by several lines: quickly followed by the Recovery Menu Screen.
Crtl/Alt/F2 gave a blank Screen with a flashing cursor;
Crtl/Alt/F7 gave a screen of lines: and Warnings from /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin xxxx....network rules not enforced.
It had hung on a flashing cursor that did not respond to keystrokes.
From the Recovery Menu Screen, the 'Resume normal boot' option gave a screen of lines ending with and then a tty1 login prompt.
Login shows as does:
but then the next line shows Ububtu 10.10, as does:
Code:
cat /etc/lsb-release
. After login
Code:
sudo service gdm start
had no effect, ( lightdm is not recognized ).
Running
Code:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-270.41.19.run
brings an NVIDIA message that there appears to be 290.10 already installed. ( Your note said that You have to have a working Internet connection to run this installer. ) So it was unlikely that it would run and reinstall, but I ran it, anyway, and it appeared to be OK.
I then ran
Code:
sudu service gdm start
and it opened the 10.10 screen, as normal but with both Network Adapters showing Disconnected.
In nm-tools they both also showed as disconnected and both using the r8172u driver.
The netroot option of the Recovery menu, gives a screen of DHCPD calls on eth0 & wlan0 which end in and a root prompt.
After reinstalling the r8172 driver and rebooting, the position was reversed, 10.04 LTS was unaffected, but 10.10 hung on the Ubuntu screen, but without the little-man Icons below.
11.10 booted to the 10.10 screen with both wireless Adapters showing Disconnected, but no Networks listed.
Syslog showed: [
See added note at end.]
Re-running 3.0.0-12 with -–verbose single, gave the same results as before, the fail-safe mode gave a widget in the F2 screen, with : “Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly”, with an OK button, but no Mouse cursor, and it did not respond to keystrokes.
Crtl/Alt/F1 then gave a screen of text for the X.Org X Server 1.9.0 Xorg.failsafe.log file, ending in:
Code:
(==) Using system config directory “/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d”
(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
and hung with a flashing cursor, which registered keystrokes but did not act on them, except Crtl/Alt/Del. ( I re-ran NVIDIA-config )
Crtl/Alt/F7 showed the same screen of lines about AppArmor Warnings.
Code:
sudo service gdm start
then opened the 10.10 screen.
Later note: I have “Solved” the 'firmware not loading' problem by copying the /lib/firmware/rtl.nic & rtlwifi folders from a genuine 11.10 installation on my other computer. The AppArmor problem remains.
I fully realize I may have fouled up things beyond recovery and may need to format the Partition and do a fresh install, but I have no idea what AppArmor does and if its absence contributes to 11.10 not showing the correct screen. Seems worth a try.
Any other suggestions you have for repairing things, warmly welcomed.
