Description Pavel Roskin 2018-06-21 00:58:14 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing upowerd from 'write' accesses on the directory /var/lib/upower.

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

If you believe that upowerd should be allowed write access on the upower directory 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:
# ausearch -c 'upowerd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-upowerd
# semodule -X 300 -i my-upowerd.pp

Same problem here, since 4.17.2-100.fc27.x86_64 kernel update.
The upower.service throws the following log:

(I've experienced these problems on multiple machines. Adding myself to the CC list.)

Comment 7 David H. Gutteridge 2018-07-27 21:53:30 UTC
I'm unable to test this update, since it's contingent upon upower-0.99.8-1, which is no longer available as a downloadable build for F28 (it was deleted from Koji). upower-0.99.8-1 is still available for F27, but the latest equivalent update of selinux-policy for F27 (selinux-policy-3.13.1-284.37.fc27) does not list this bug among its fixes, though this issue is applicable to F27 too.

Comment 8 Fedora Update System 2018-07-29 03:21:51 UTC
selinux-policy-3.14.1-36.fc28 has been pushed to the Fedora 28 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
