Comment 6 for bug 2073214

I want to reopen this. I think there is an apparmor problem.

Here is how to reproduce:

I made a new Ubuntu 24.04 desktop to an external drive on my AMD laptop.
I did all suggested updates, set up virt-manager and installed hugeadm

Then I download the image for the 24.04 server and installed it in a VM, I gave it 2GB ram.
Verify that it boots with default memory settings.

Using hugeadm, I create 4000 pages of 2MiB pages.

Then I edit the XML of the vm as above, including shared memory and <hugepages/>

It fails with the same permission error as reported initially.

Then I

sudo systemctl disable apparmor

and restart

Now the VM starts fine.

Enabling apparmor and restarting results again in a VM that will not start with hugepages.
