Rebooted PC after today's rawhide updates and logged into KDE session using kdm as login manager. Are you attempting to login in as root? This is not supported by selinux. No, I am trying to login as a regular user. I use sudo to run any root privileged commands, but I get this alert as soon as I login. The only application that is setup to autostart on login is Gkrellm. Do you have a user-dirs.dirs in /root? If you remove it does the AVC go away. If you put the machine into enforcing mode, does the AVC go away? I do not have the file in the /root directory, but in /root/.config/ directory. Renaming that file to user-dirs.dirs.old and rebooting does not cause the alert in either enforcing or permissive mode. If you were running in enforcing mode, this avc would not have come up, and removing the file seems to eliminate the AVC. So I am going to close as not a bug. |
The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot: Summary: SELinux is preventing the polkitd from using potentially mislabeled files (user-dirs.dirs). Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was permitted due to permissive mode.] SELinux has denied polkitd access to potentially mislabeled file(s) (user-dirs.dirs). This means that SELinux will not allow polkitd to use these files. It is common for users to edit files in their home directory or tmp directories and then move (mv) them to system directories. The problem is that the files end up with the wrong file context which confined applications are not allowed to access. Allowing Access: If you want polkitd to access this files, you need to relabel them using restorecon -v 'user-dirs.dirs'. You might want to relabel the entire directory using restorecon -R -v ''.
