Jamie, the reason I suspected apparmor was twofold. First I grepped for dev/shm in /etc, found some likely looking files in /etc/apparmor.d and then set about purging apparmor to see if it was the problem.
The results I saw (from fgrep dev/shm -r .) contained: ./apparmor.d/abstractions/audio:/dev/shm/ r, ./apparmor.d/abstractions/audio:owner /dev/shm/pulse-shm* rwk, ./apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu: /dev/shm/ r, ./apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu: /dev/shm/pulse-shm* r, ./apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu: /dev/shm/pulse-shm* rwk, Secondly, after removing apparmor and rebooting, the problem went away. However, while writing this message and repeating the grep in a backup I realise / remember that I did also remove some qemu and libvirt packages at the same time, as well as virtualbox; I don't run any VMs at the moment. Your question about libvirt has struck a chord. (Also, wrt virtualbox, I remember following some instructions from Jono Bacon's blog - iirc - maybe 6-12 months back. ISTR that involved adding a PPA; could that have been yours?) I don't know what more information I can add to this bug now. It sounds like it could be invalid, but I'm happy to help reproduce if it's still of interest. -- /dev/shm keeps getting reset to rwxr-xr-t https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/559545 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
