I get the error:

Error starting domain: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: chardev: opening backend "pty" failed

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 814, in run_domain
    vm.startup()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1296, in startup
    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 333, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: chardev: opening backend "pty" failed

Turning off apparmor fixes it. Re-enabling it stops libvirt from creating VMs again.
