[Bug 994926] Re: empathy accounts not stored

[Jeff Balderson]

I believe this is a problem with AppArmor in 12.04.  I've been using
this same setup for a while now, so I don't think it affects previous
versions.

In /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home, HOME is rigidly defined as "/home/".
I put home in /u01/home, it meant that the apparmor profile for
Telepathy was broken.

It looks like the original reporter has a home directory of
"/home/JOHNNYPARK/mhouse", which is similar to my case.

This means that the apparmor profile in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.telepathy:
/usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5 {
    ...
    owner @{HOME}/.mission-control/      rw,
    owner @{HOME}/.mission-control/**    rw,
    ...
}

Won't cover home directories that don't fit the pattern of
"/home/<username>"

As a workaround for my case, I changed the HOMEDIRS definition to
"@{HOMEDIRS}=/home/ /u01/home/" in  /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.
