I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.02 LTS and just applied some updates as recommended by the OS. SInce then my Brave browser (& all other browsers) stopped working and would not launch from the sidebar. While inspecting the logs (/var/log/syslog), I noticed following error when brave browser's icon is clicked:
    Jul  1 22:53:24 192 systemd[2538]: Started Application launched by gnome-shell.

When I look under /etc/apparmore.d directory, there are no profiles (active or disabled) for Brave, here is the content of this directory:

Any idea/pointers to fix this problem or investigate it further?
Thanks.
