https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=660373 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=660373#c0 Summary: Apparmour Offers little if no Functionality - Its Logic is Unclear and Help pages are of Little User Value Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: AppArmor AssignedTo: jeffm@novell.com ReportedBy: scott@aphofis.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=405476) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=405476) PROGRESSIVE IMAGES User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 SUSE/3.6.12-0.7.1 Firefox/3.6.12 Apparmour found back in 10.3, was at best unclear and offered the user no real way of receiving email alerts - Now, with the addition of the 'Update Profile Wizard' everything about Apparmour has changed dramatically and I still cannot test that Apparmour actually performs some type of function despite it having new functions within Yast and given new Apparmour GUI Tools. The way a user needs to start to use Apparmour is confusing at best and there is not much Logic in having a Control Panel in Apparmours many GUIs I'll demonstrate in both the text procedure as well as images below - Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.To be able to set a notification email address and other important functions, we need to start with the Update Profile Wizard First and Foremost. After opening the Wizard the user needs to create a user login as well as initiate a Repository. 2.The wizard is a bit confusing as we need to start by registering the user details. Within this procedure, a user password details are required in 2 different panels. The newly registered user has a unique user name and some how user login details are created and a repository added from who knows where! 3.Once you have a user login you can now go back to the control panel and enter the email address you chose when you registered as a New User. The capacity to enable alerts via a local host email address and locally held 'system type' notification; will be accepted, but an external email address will be accepted in the notification fields, once a user has created a user login and 'added a repository'?? I think the concept of creating a user login is suppose to enable the downloading of profiles that Novell or other have created and want to share?? I could continue to type text after text after text with little value as I have provided images. The worst thing about the Apparmour Profile Wizard is, once you have register a user login and offered all the reliant details and finished; The very same Wizard offer not 1 piece of functionality - Its just dumps the user after clicking on the Wizard GUI. My Opinion would be to totally scrap ALL Apparmour GUIs and put some logic and functionality back. I would also rewrite the ALL GUI Help texts and to provide Apparmour Profiles that I think are suppose to be downloaded and shared to everyone. As it stands all Apparmour GIs should be classified as 'ALPHA' and far far away from even BETA -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
