An updated aa-notify that can prompt the user to create a profile is available in oracular, and for noble via https://launchpad.net/~apparmor-dev/+archive/ubuntu/apparmor-backports. The plan is to get more testing on it and then SRU to noble.

it can be install via
  sudo apt install apparmor-notify

basic instructions are available via
  man aa-notify

it will install a default configuration in "/etc/apparmor/notify.conf". The default configuration can be modified on a per user basis by copying it to "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/apparmor/notify.conf" which is generally "$HOME/.config/apparmor/notify.conf" or to "$HOME/.apparmor/notify.conf". A custom configuration is not needed unless you want to use filtering to make it less noisy.

Currently regular notifications will happen for all apparmor events, but they can be filtered using the config file.

the notifier can be started via the shell with
  aa-notify -p -s1 --prompt-filter=userns

or by adding it to startup applications

There is a bug with the user namespace notification where it currently requires "--prompt-filter=userns" as part of the command arguments instead of being set in the config file.
