KVM reports this message after upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 : apparmor="DENIED" operation="capable" parent=1 profile="/usr/sbin/libvirtd"

[Claude Durocher]

Upgraded system from 13.04 to 13.10 64 bits with KVM installed before upgrade. In /var/log/syslog, KVM complains at boot time :

apparmor="DENIED" operation="capable" parent=1 profile="/usr/sbin/libvirtd" pid=1396 comm="libvirtd" pid=1396 comm="libvirtd" capability=29 capname="audit_write"

Resolution :

Edit /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.libvirtd and add this line :

  capability audit_write,

Thanks for reporting this bug. Does anything break, or do the messages
just get logged while operation proceeds?

I had a network problem with KVM (natted network would not start after the
upgrade) and so I made the change to apparmor. This did not correct my
network problem and I had to delete and recreate the network in the GUI. So
I'm not 100% sure if it's related or not but the error message disapeared
after the fix.
