Cannot save to Systemd

Hello!

I'm getting the following error from cameractrls.cameractrlsgtk when trying to click on Save (save settings to systemd):

I spent a bit trying to figure this out. In /var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap.cameractrls.cameractrls as well as in /var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap.cameractrls.cameractrlsgtk add at the end, before the last }: /usr/bin/systemctl rix,

After saving the file, run sudo apparmor_parser -r /var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap.cameractrls.cameractrls*. It should now work. In my case, the application was not even starting anymore because it was blocked by AppArmor, but now it works. The logs don't have any more complaints from apparmor for trying to use systemctl. Unfortunately it doesn't work anyway and I can't get anything out of running the application from the terminal (it simply launches and immediately returns without writing anything to the console).

Thanks so much @Slater91 , been banging my head against the wall for ages with this one!
