Bug Description

Release: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Package: gnome-boxes 3.36.5-0ubuntu2

Expected: After trying to browse my own files for an iso image i expected a drop down of my files to populate.

Instead: I am able to open gnome boxes upon start up of my Ubuntu machine. Once I click the "+" in order to create a new virtual machine I am prompted to pick my OS image. After opting to use an iso image file from my files the application freezes and I have to quit the application. After the application crashes I am no longer able to open the Boxes app until I restart my Ubuntu machine. I was able to open the logs form gnome boxes and i was given this message upon opening the logs. "Failed to read AppArmor profiles list '/sys/kernel/security/apparmor/profiles': Permission denied"
After traversing to this file I saw that the profiles file had all was readable, so I am unsure what the problem is.
