Hello,

Probably following an update from cron-apt (security only), lxc container does not reponse.

I restarted the server and now, the container will not start.

Someone would see a solution?

I tried :
Code: 
~# lxc-start -n 100 -F -lDEBUG -o lxc-100.log --logpriority TRACE
lxc-start: 100: lxccontainer.c: do_lxcapi_start: 984 Permission denied - Failed to make / rslave at startup
lxc-start: 100: tools/lxc_start.c: main: 368 The container failed to start.
lxc-start: 100: tools/lxc_start.c: main: 372 Additional information can be obtained by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.

Code: 
~# cat lxc-100.log

At first, the problem occurs after one of these updates :

Thank Wolfgang, but that does not solve my problem.
I would like to downgrade my kernel, I search how to
 
Yes, thanks, but I don't have access to boot grub.
This is a rental dedicated server.

the last apparmor package update in Debian was in March (there is one pending on proposed though..). double check which packages got upgraded (and from which version to which version) and also post your configured repositories
 
this is an issue with apparmor in stretch-proposed-updates - we'll find a solution before the upcoming point release on sunday!
 
okay, thanks again

apparmor 2.11.0-3+deb9u1 => not work
apparmor 2.11.0-3 => work fine

Thank you Volvic, It was just very stressful !
Thanks to you, I will be able to relax.
However, this does not remove the bug with this apparmor version.
Get ready for the next update :)

the apparmor update is no longer slated for the next Debian point release.

if you have installed it because you have stretch-proposed-updates configured as repository, you need to downgrade to the previous version. you probably should not have stretch-proposed-updates configured on production machines ;)

check all installed apparmor packages with broken version (should only list apparmor related packages):
Code: 
$ dpkg-query --show -f '${Package},${Version}\n' | grep '2.11.0-3+deb9u1$'
apparmor,2.11.0-3+deb9u1
libapparmor-perl,2.11.0-3+deb9u1
libapparmor1,2.11.0-3+deb9u1

verify generated downgrade list
Code: 
$ dpkg-query --show -f '${Package},${Version}\n' | grep ',2.11.0-3+deb9u1$' | sed -e 's/,.*$/=2.11.0-3/' | tr '\n' ' '
apparmor=2.11.0-3 libapparmor-perl=2.11.0-3 libapparmor1=2.11.0-3 %

downgrade them
Code: 
$ apt install $(dpkg-query --show -f '${Package},${Version}\n' | grep ',2.11.0-3+deb9u1$' | sed -e 's/,.*$/=2.11.0-3/' | tr '\n' ' ')

Thank you Fabian for the procedure, it works very well.
I removed stretch-proposed-updates from my sources list ;)

Marcori should be really relaxed after that :D
 
Hi, same issue with proxmox 5.1.41 and apparmor 2.11.0-3+deb9u2.
Not possible to downgrade to 2.11.0-3
Reading Package lists... done Building depency tree Reading state information... done
E: Version '2.11.0-3' for 'apparmor' was not found
E: Version '2.11.0-3' for 'libapparmor-perl' was not found
E: Version '2.11.0-3' for 'libapparmor1' was not found
Solution was: Add line “deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-no-subscription”. to source.list

confirmed this works for me
issue appeared after performing an update via proxmox gui
 
To be clear, it's the upgraded kernel from that sources list that works, not that that sources list has an old copy of apparmor + libraries to downgrade to.

You must add that line, apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && shutdown -r now to reboot to the new kernel.

Thanks.

Hi there!
Sorry for digging out this thread but I don't want to start a new one for the exact same issue.
I am running proxmox 6.4-13 and from the information that I gathered I seem to have the same issue.

I updated a container with update && dist-upgrade and can since not start the container anymore.
Looking at the syslogs I do get references to issues with apparmor.
My problem is that I don't seem to understand the solution explained here. Is there someone that can elaborate a bit more on how I can fix this?
I am running the server as a hobby so while it is not all that dramatic to lose the container I would prefer not to as it would mean a lot of time to run my backup (which is admittedly also a little older than I would like it to be)

I appreciate any input.

Cheers.

Updating the kernel as we did so long ago probably wont fix it since things have moved far forward in 4 years. You have another issue. You need to find a new related thread, or start a new one, as it's unrelated to this specific issue at that time.
