Description Jared Smith 2016-01-20 13:52:29 UTC
Description of problem:
Rebooted my machine and saw this alert.
SELinux is preventing fwupd from 'getattr' accesses on the filesystem /sys/firmware/efi/efivars.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that fwupd should be allowed getattr access on the efivars filesystem 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 fwupd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Description of problem:
Using gnome-software to install fonts (but I have the feeling that the using gnome-software is just enough).
