Description Magnus Boman 2005-08-31 04:15:34 UTC
I enabled AppArmor to have a quick look, but noticed that I couldn't start GAIM
with it enabled. So I went in and disabled it. GAIM could now start. But after a
restart of my box, AppArmor enables itself again. Can't seem to permanently
disable it.
I used YaST to enable AppArmor. Also used YaST to try to disable it.

Jesse: can you look at this on beta3?

just a comment: restarting the box starts things as they are configured 
runlevel-wise. To disable AppArmor permanently it has to be removed from the 
respective runlevels. Otherwise it will automatically get restarted every time a 
user boots his machine.

To permanently disable a service, a user can start the YaST runlevel editor and 
disable the service there. This way, he would have to explicitely enable it with 
this tool again, if he ever wants to use it again.

mention this in the docs? Maybe in the troubleshooting section? 
Comment 4 Jesse Michael 2005-09-09 08:13:17 UTC
this is fixed now.  the apparmor control panel in yast was only starting and
stopping the init script.  i've changed it to use insserv to enable and disable
subdomain as well.
