Andreas: Thanks for the prompt reply your suggestion has fixed the problem. The only thing to note is that after the reinstall the following appeared on dmesg

Does this mean that the problem wasn't a real issue? The machine this happened on was freshly installed on the 4th April 2025. However looking through /var/log/apt/history.log says the ubuntu-pro-client package was originally installed as part of a transaction from "Start-Date: 2025-02-16 21:00:10 / End-Date: 2025-02-16 21:00:28" which pre-dates the machine's actual install! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2107332 Title: AppArmor denied audit messages related to __pycache__ in dmesg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-advantage-tools/+bug/2107332/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
