The configuration of AppArmor for Thunderbird is somehow wrong. The first time i searched for the configuration files i could only find this:
/lib/apparmor /etc/init.d/apparmor /etc/apparmor /usr/share/doc/apparmor /usr/share/lintian/overrides/apparmor /usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.0-5-amd64/include/config/security/apparmor /usr/src/linux-headers-4.9.0-8-amd64/include/config/security/apparmor /var/cache/apparmor There where NO subdirectories in /etc/apparmor ! Then i installed the package apparmor-utils to experiment with AppArmor. After that i found out that i could not set Thunderbird in debug (complain) mode. This fails with ERROR: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.thunderbird doesn't contain a valid profile for /usr/bin/thunderbird (syntax error?) Now after my next reboot i checked the path /etc/apparmor again and it looks this way: # tree -d /etc/apparmor* /etc/apparmor /etc/apparmor.d ├── abstractions │ ├── apparmor_api │ └── ubuntu-browsers.d ├── disable ├── force-complain ├── local └── tunables ├── home.d ├── multiarch.d └── xdg-user-dirs.d # ll /etc/apparmor insgesamt 40K drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K Aug 8 15:43 . drwxr-xr-x 157 root root 12K Aug 9 16:39 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5,1K Mär 30 14:23 logprof.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1,6K Mär 30 14:23 parser.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11K Mär 30 14:23 severity.db # ll /etc/apparmor.d insgesamt 128K drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4,0K Aug 9 16:37 . drwxr-xr-x 157 root root 12K Aug 9 16:39 .. drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4,0K Aug 4 15:30 abstractions drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K Aug 9 16:40 disable drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K Mär 30 14:23 force-complain -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 819 Feb 22 17:50 lightdm-guest-session drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K Aug 4 14:55 local -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1,1K Mär 30 14:23 nvidia_modprobe drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4,0K Aug 4 14:52 tunables -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10K Jan 29 2019 usr.bin.evince -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3,1K Feb 10 13:11 usr.bin.man -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14K Aug 9 16:37 usr.bin.thunderbird -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1,5K Jun 18 20:36 usr.lib.libreoffice.program.oosplash -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1,4K Jun 18 20:36 usr.lib.libreoffice.program.senddoc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11K Jun 18 20:36 usr.lib.libreoffice.program.soffice.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1,3K Jun 18 20:36 usr.lib.libreoffice.program.xpdfimport -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8,0K Jan 16 2017 usr.lib.telepathy -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 540 Jan 19 2017 usr.sbin.cups-browsed -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5,5K Apr 23 08:33 usr.sbin.cupsd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 563 Apr 19 18:29 usr.sbin.haveged -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 798 Aug 6 2018 usr.sbin.mysqld-akonadi I tried again # aa-complain thunderbird Setting /usr/bin/thunderbird to complain mode. ERROR: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.thunderbird doesn't contain a valid profile for /usr/bin/thunderbird (syntax error?) Why has this profile an error? But i could deactivate Thunderbird with # aa-disable thunderbird Disabling /usr/bin/thunderbird. After that i could start Thunderbird and send this email. Cheers karsten
