[Bug 632696] Re: libvirt won't start a VM with serial or console when apparmor is enabled

[Serge Hallyn]

Jamie,

sorry, I thought his latest comment mentioned that as a working
workaround, but I must have seen it in the description.

So yes, removing the tag seems good.

** Description changed:

  I get the error:
  
  Error starting domain: internal error Process exited while reading
  console log output: chardev: opening backend "pty" failed
  
- 
  Traceback (most recent call last):
-   File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 814, in run_domain
-     vm.startup()
-   File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1296, in startup
-     self._backend.create()
-   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 333, in create
-     if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)

- Turning off apparmor fixes it.  Re-enabling it stops libvirt from creating VMs again.
