You can either turn off nsplugin protection or remove gxine from mozplugger. Or remove mozplugger alltogether. Currently SELinux and mozplugger do not get a long well. SELinux wants to confine anything that runs in the nspluginwrapper while mozplugger wants to run a lot of desktop apps within nsplugin. (OpenOffice, Totem, eclipse, gxine.) To turn off nsplugin confinement, execute setsebool -P allow_unconfined_nsplugin_transition =0 Release note added for Fedora 10; let us know if it needs to be removed or modified.
<para>Browser plug-ins wrapped with
<command>nspluginwrapper</command>, which is the default, are
confined by SELinux policy.</para>
<para>SELinux and the Firefox <command>mozplugger</command>
infrastructure may not work together as expected, due to
fundamentally different goals for each. As a test or solution, to
turn off SELinux confinement of <command>nsplugin</command>, run
this command:</para>
<screen>
<userinput>setsebool -P allow_unconfined_nsplugin_transition =0</userinput>
</screen>
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fixed in selinux-policy-3.5.13-33.fc10 This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
