    Hello All,

    After following the Perfect Server Ubuntu 9.10 ISPConfig2 tutorial, everything runs great. However, I notice a brief error msg at boot concerning apparmor. Even though I followed the instructions to disable and uninstall it, there's a file "/etc/apparmor/functions" trying to call on individual apparmor files and failing because they're no longer there. Do you know how to get rid of this message.

    I followed these 3 steps:
    /etc/init.d/apparmor stop
    update-rc.d -f apparmor remove
    aptitude remove apparmor apparmor-utils

    After I got the error message, I thought I may have done somthing wrong, so I reinstalled AppArmor, and then uninstalled again using the purge option.

    /etc/init.d/apparmor stop
    update-rc.d -f apparmor remove
    aptitude remove --purge apparmor apparmor-utils

    Do you know the exact error message? Do you see it when you run
    Code:
    dmesg
    ?

    Hey Timme,

    It's an honor to talk with you. The error msg at boot is as follows:

    /etc/apparmor/functions: Line 40: /sbin/apparmor_parser: No such file or directory

    Thanks for your reply.

    Dave

    Well, I guess it's safe to ignore this error.
    Anyway, what are the outputs of
    Code:
    ls -l /etc/default/
    and
    Code:
    ls -l /etc/init.d/
    ?

    Hey Falko,

    Sorry it took a few days for me to get back to you.

    Looks like there's an entry for apparmor in init.d. Should I remove that?

    Can you run
    Code:
    update-rc.d -f apparmor remove
    again?

    Hey Falko,

    Ran it again, and I still get the message. I also performed a complete reinstall and got the same result. Something is still trying to start apparmor.

    Confirmed the exact same behaviour on the 32 bit edition of Ubuntu server on a different machine. One apparmor is uninstalled and removed from rc.d, something still triest to start it.

    If figured out the issue. The file /etc/apparmor/initramfs tries to start the file /etc/apparmor/functions which in turn begins to try and load the apparmor modules that aren't there after an uninstall. I simply edited /etc/apparmor/initramfs with vi and commented out the following lines:

    set -e

    . /etc/apparmor/functions

    mount -n -t securityfs none "${SECURITYFS}"
    load_configured_profiles_without_caching


    The boot message is now gone. Since apparmor in uninstalled at this point, would it be okay to just delete the /etc/apparmor directly entirely???

    I think it doesn't hurt to just leave the directory alone.
