Hello,

I have Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.2 (64 bits)

I downloaded armor-2.8.0.tar.gz at https://launchpad.net/apparmor/2.8/2...r-2.8.0.tar.gz

After I untar, I go into apparmor-2.8.0/kernel-patches/3.2/ and there are 3 files:

0001-AppArmor-compatibility-patch-for-v5-network-controll.patch
0002-AppArmor-compatibility-patch-for-v5-interface.patch
0003-AppArmor-Allow-dfa-backward-compatibility-with-broke.patch

I tried:
patch -p1 < 0001-AppArmor-compatibility-patch-for-v5-network-controll.patch

But it then asks me "File to patch: ".

How do I go about this?
Thanks a lot

I am not sure if this would be best as a continuation of your other thread, or a new one.
First, did you follow the instructions in the README file which discuss using make and build? I am not sure if these are completely applicable to your need, but it would be prudent to give this section a read.

Second, the patch file shows which source file is being patched. For example, the first patch file says that security/apparmor/apparmorfs.c is being modified. Of course you will need the appropriate kernel sources, etc, as well as the instructions on how to build an Ubuntu kernel. The important part will be to sure to get the proper kernel configuration before compiling.

edit: for the networking one, there are multiple files being patched. You will probably need to point it to the parent directory, security/apparmor.

Hi, Thanks for your response.

I follow all the instructions in the README file but it showed an error message when I tried to build it.

And when I tried to patch the kernel, this is what is displayed:

can't find file to patch at input line 26
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

File to patch:


I don't know what to do after this the prompt.
If anyone has any suggestion, I'd be happy to hear from you.

Ubuntu 12.10 includes AppArmor 2.8.0. Upgrading your distribution may be the easiest way.
