Description Carlos Pèrez 2013-10-09 15:30:32 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from 'open' accesses on the chr_file /dev/pts/0.

*****  Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests  *******************

If you want to allow daemons to use tty
Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'daemons_use_tty' boolean.
You can read 'None' man page for more details.
Do
setsebool -P daemons_use_tty 1

*****  Plugin catchall (11.6 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed open access on the 0 chr_file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep hp-config_usb_p /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2013-10-09 16:05:11 UTC
ANy idea why cups is trying to open a devpts device? /dev/pts/0?

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2013-10-17 10:25:24 UTC
This comes from hp-config_usb_printer, which we do not ship in Fedora.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2013-10-17 14:01:58 UTC
Carlos did the printer work?
