Summary:

SELinux is preventing plasma-desktop from loading /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 which
requires text relocation.

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was
permitted due to permissive mode.]

The plasma-desktop application attempted to load /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 which
requires text relocation. This is a potential security problem. Most libraries
do not need this permission. Libraries are sometimes coded incorrectly and
request this permission. The SELinux Memory Protection Tests
(http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html) web page explains how to
remove this requirement. You can configure SELinux temporarily to allow
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to use relocation as a workaround, until the library is
fixed. Please file a bug report
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

Allowing Access:

If you trust /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to run correctly, you can change the file
context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2'"
You must also change the default file context files on the system in order to
preserve them even on a full relabel. "semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t
'/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2'"

Fix Command:

chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2'
