Problem Description
Apparmor service is stopped after Trixie upgrade. Service cannot be started from Cockpit. I have a couple reboots since completing the upgrade.
Apparmor description:
AppArmor is a kernel enhancement to confine programs to a limited set
of resources. AppArmor’s unique security model is to bind access
control attributes to programs rather than to users.
Steps to Reproduce
- Upgrade FreedomBox to Trixie
- Open cockpit and select the Administrative Access option
- Look in Cockpit for stopped services
- Apparmor is stopped
- Start the service manually and this fails.
Expected Results
Apparmor service is running.
