Confirmed on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. I edited my /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.vidalia to look like this:
#include <tunables/global> /usr/bin/vidalia { #include <abstractions/kde> #include <abstractions/nameservice> #include <abstractions/dbus-session> #include <abstractions/dconf> #include <abstractions/ibus> #include <abstractions/tor> owner @{HOME}/.vidalia/ rw, owner @{HOME}/.vidalia/** rwmk, /{var/,}run/tor/control rw, /{var/,}run/tor/control.authcookie r, /usr/share/icons/*/index.theme k, /etc/** rmk, /usr/** rmixk, @{PROC}/ r, @{PROC}/* rm, owner /{,var/}run/user/*/** rw, owner @{PROC}/** rm, owner @{HOME}/.tor/ rw, owner @{HOME}/.tor/** rwmk, # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details. #include <local/usr.bin.vidalia> } Then I just issued the following command to replace apparmor definitions: sudo apparmor_parser --replace /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.vidalia Now vidalia runs, I have tor connectivity & /var/log/syslog is clean of AppArmor messages. ** Tags added: trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/680192 Title: Vidalia was unable to start Tor.
