Description Don Swaner 2018-12-10 02:15:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
I was trying to stop the wifi hotspot.  Had to repeatedly press button, to no effect.  Seems like an abrt report was attempted, but failed
Had to manually force reboot.
After rebooting, Gnome abrt tool showed no problems.  Tried to use abrt-cli and got "permission denied" for root:

# abrt-cli list
Can't connect to system DBus: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.problems: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute program org.freedesktop.problems: Permission denied

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-abrt-1.2.6-8.fc29.x86_64
abrt-2.11.0-1.fc29.x86_64
gnome-control-center-3.30.2-1.fc29.x86_64

How reproducible:
Unknown for wifi hotspot hang, and abort reporting failure.
100% for "abrt-cli list" permission denied.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo "abrt-cli list"

Actual results:
Permission denied error message noted above.

Expected results:
abrt-cli listing displayed.

Additional info:
This is for a new install Fedora 29 (/home partition not new).

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1656979 for a work-around that fixes the abrt-cli and sealert permission denied problems.  I applied this fix yesterday, and it works, and I have not experienced any side-effects.  A reboot is necessary.  I had to do a manual reboot - system hung after applying fix.  (I neglected to capture the file permissions before applying the fix, so it could be backed out.)  Hopefully this unofficial fix won't cause any problems down the road.
