[virt-tools-list] Ubuntu "cannot load AppArmor profile" when creating a VM with OVMF

[Gizmo Chicken]

BACKGROUND:  In a previous thread, I reported that the OVMF package
currently found in the Ubuntu repository isn't compatible with
Virt-Manager 1.2.1. (See below: Virt-Manager reports that "UEFI not
found" on the system when using Ubuntu's current OVMF package.)   I
also reported that my installation of Virt-Manager 1.2.1 on Ubuntu
finds UEFI after I followed the instructions found here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_UEFI_with_QEMU

CURRENT ISSUE:  Although my installation of Virt-Manager 1.2.1 on
Ubuntu, which includes the OVMF package installed from Gerd Hoffman's
repository, can now find UEFI, I still can't use it to create a VM
with OVMF.  (I'll just note that I can use this same installation of
Virt-Manager 1.2.1 to create a VM with standard BIOS without any
errors.)

Here's an example of the error that I get when I try to use my
installation of Virt-Manager 1.2.1 on Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10 to create
create a VM with OVMF:

Unable to complete install: 'internal error: cannot load AppArmor
profile 'libvirt-f61a93ee-be99-4a96-ad45-0a8b3f85875d''

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 89, in cb_wrapper
    callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1873, in do_install
    guest.start_install(meter=meter)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 414, in start_install
    noboot)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 478, in _create_guest
    dom = self.conn.createLinux(start_xml or final_xml, 0)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 3574, in createLinux
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed',
conn=self)
libvirtError: internal error: cannot load AppArmor profile
'libvirt-f61a93ee-be99-4a96-ad45-0a8b3f85875d'


Granted, this is probably more of an Ubuntu issue than a Virt-Manager
issue.  But I'm starting here because Virt-Manager 1.2.1 isn't yet
supported by Ubuntu, and so I'm unsure where at Ubuntu to file a bug
report.

Any help with this issue, or suggestions regarding where best to file
this bug (of an unsupported program version) at Ubuntu, would be
appreciated.

Okay, looks like there may be a problem with the OVMF package from
Ubuntu's repository.

I completely removed the OVMF package from Ubuntu's repository.  Then
I downloaded the appropriate rpm from Gerd Hoffman's repository at
https://www.kraxel.org/repos/jenkins/edk2/

After extracting that rpm to the appropriate location, I edited
/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf following the instructions found here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_UEFI_with_QEMU

I haven't yet created a VM with OVMF, but now at least Virt-Manager
can see UEFI.
