Description of problem:
after updating test2 on 4/7/04 xserver would crash when i tried to
login as root graphically. After rebooting and editing the kernel line
to runlevel 3 and loging in text based, i was able to get xserver up
by typing startx. If i logged in graphically as root, it crashed and
threw all kinds of errors, if i runlevel 3, and log in as root and
then startx the graphical environment runs fine. thanks'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.4-1.305

Try adding selinux=0 when you boot your kernel. Does the problem go away?

Comment 3 dusty bradshaw 2004-04-09 03:25:26 UTC
Thank you for your reply. 

I have a question for you.Its neat that disabling selinux at boot
makes the problem go away. I had to do that with 303 kernel.  However
I would like to know if my workaround (booting runlevel 3, loging in,
and then startingx manually) leaves sel on? I like the idea of having
sel work.., not just disabling it. I think my method leaves sel on,
while working around the problem as well. 

 Thnak you for the sel tip. I had not tried to disable selinux in this
case, though i probably should have. I dont really want to disable it
though. Thanks.. 




 

Comment 4 John Dennis 2004-04-12 15:49:08 UTC
If you don't disable selinux at boot it should still be on modulo
whatever your security policys allow. In an attempt to make more
things run with selinux there has been some relaxing of the policy,
just something to keep in mind. I'm sorry to say I still don't know
what the particular problem you encountered is and we will pursue it,
but I'm glad for the interim you have a workaround
