aa-genprof start but doesn't allow any action

[Thomas d'Otreppe]

Package version: 2.8.95~2430-0u
Ubuntu version: 14.04.2 LTS 64 bit server
Kernel version: 3.16.0-39

I tried to generate a profile for one of the tools in quagga: /usr/lib/quagga/bgp.

I did the following:
aa-autodep /usr/lib/quagga/bgp
aa-genprof /usr/lib/quagga/bgp

Genprof show the screen explaining you have to play with the app and to Scan at the end. However, it doesn't display those actions and stops at the paragraph "For each AppArmor event, you be given the opportunity to choose whether the access should be allowed or denied."

There is no option whatsoever. Even pressing 's' then hitting Enter doesn't do anything. Or even just hitting Enter doesn't do anything.

Note: I have installed auditd install because of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/1432350 and I can see events in the audit log from the program I'm monitoring
Note 2: Apparmor (profile generation part) is also pretty much unusable on 15.04 (different issues I think).

When you press "s" to scan the logs, this might take some time if you have lots of log entries.
- how long did you wait?
- if it still hangs after waiting, press Ctrl-c to abort the hard way. You should see a backtrace that shows where it is working (or hanging) currently - please paste it into the bugreport.

I waited a few seconds then hit Ctrl-C to stop it. Unfortunately, I didn't save it and I deleted that virtual machine. Trying to reproduce just gave me another traceback:
File 'usr/sbin/aa-genprof", line 148, in <module>
  q = aaui.PromptQuestion()

(sorry for the long delay)

comment #2 means you Ctrl-C'd it while waiting for your input ;-)

If you still see this problem, please try to interrupt it in another place ;-) and report back.

I'm afraid the given information isn't enough to reproduce and debug this problem :-(

If you hit this again, please reopen and provide some more details.
