Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
     Upgrading gnome-boxes. Do not know, when
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     $ gnome-boxes&
   * What was the outcome of this action?
     The refreshing thumbnail of the VM console in the main overview window,
does not refresh fluently. I can spot an AppArmor configuration error in
journalctl -f
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
     Fluently refreshing thumbnail of the VM console

in the current Debian/testing there is a problem, in that the visually
refreshing thumbnail icon of a VM console in main view, after starting gnome-
boxes, does not refresh continuously.

I can spot AppArmor errors in journalctl -f 's syslog.

The spotted error is as following:

Thank you for noticing this problem.

In addition to that, please close my previous bug reports #731668 and #956182
for gnome-boxes. They are not relevant any more. Thank you!

Dear Maintainer,

I recently played in version 48.alpha-stable of gnome-boxes, where the
problem I described is fixed! — but still application logging output
through AppArmor in journalctl -f, which does not harm of course.

Thank you for your kind help.

Sincerely,

Adrian Kieß
