Comment 21 for bug 1319829

So, yah. I'm getting this error.

But I'm on 14.04 LTS. It's still running the malfunctioning Apparmor 2.8.95~2430. It seems then that fix 2.8.96~2541 was never issued.

Apparmor seems impotent. It seems as though it is impossible to configure, impossible to use Apparmor to secure a machine running Ubuntu 14.04. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS must therefore be inherently insecure. Otherwise Apparmor wouldn't be necessary in the first place. Ubuntu Trusty can't be trusted. Ha ha.

The Ubuntu download page says: "Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS comes with five years of security and maintenance updates, guaranteed."

Is that, like, sales twaddle? Do you remember the days when the Linux crowd used to jeer endlessly at Microsoft security flaws: "Meh, Microsoft is like sooo rubbish and Linux is sooo superior blah blah twaddle".

So this is now a year since "Trusty" was released, and eight months since the Apparmor bugfix was released.

And users are still wasting time trying to get Apparmor to work, wasting time reporting the bug.

How much time do linux users waste reporting bugs that have already been fixed but haven't been implemented? You can wave goodbye to a day going through the process of trying to learn how to use some arcane linux package, discover it doesn't work, report the bug, and it all be an utter waste of time because nobody is listening. You can wave goodbye to hours just getting to grip with and reporting a bug. It happens all the time. Linux users must be [insert censored word here] because they have nothing else to do with their free time but wrestle with malfunctioning software and report bugs. They have no lives. What's worse their efforts are utterly futile. They are [insert censored word here].

If the Apparmor fix isn't being added to Ubuntu 14.04, then why not disable Apparmor in the release so people don't waste time trying to get it to work?
