Description Mark Myatt 2009-09-15 21:16:30 UTC
The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot:

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /lib/udev/udev-acl "getattr" access on
/dev/.udev/db/\x2fdevices\x2fpci0000:00\x2f0000:00:1b.0\x2fsound\x2fcard0\x2fcontrolC0.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by udev-acl.ck. It is not expected that this
access is required by udev-acl.ck and this access may signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the
application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Mark Myatt 2009-09-15 21:20:28 UTC
Bug occurs some 3 hours after simply downloading and installing numerous updates - over 2,800 - relating to FC12.i686.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2009-09-15 21:34:03 UTC
How is /lib/udev/udev-acl labeled?

ls -lZ /lib/udev/udev-acl 
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:udev_exec_t:s0 /lib/udev/udev-acl

Consolekit is supposed to transition to udev_t which would allow this if the udev-acl has the right label on it

Comment 3 Mark Myatt 2009-09-16 13:03:54 UTC
Following comment #1 the downloading of fc12.i686 has been a disaster. White screen of death appeared. As a result I have re-installed fc.11 and all works well. The bug referred to does not now appear or apply.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2009-09-16 15:23:53 UTC
Mark if you update to Rawhide(F12), you have to be prepared for disasters.  :^(

Comment 5 Mark Myatt 2009-09-18 19:27:49 UTC
Thanks DW - as a newbie I am not quite sure what you are getting at.  Is it because you favour Red Hat as opposed to Fedora or simply because FC12 is Alpha?

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2009-09-18 21:24:50 UTC
No I run rawhide everyday.  Rawhide is a half cooked OS.  So if you grab an OS during the development stage, you got to expect problems.  After all we update it every day.

I like all os's.

RHEL is great for the enterprise.  F10/F11 are great for most users.  Rawhide is for the crazies.  :^)

Comment 7 Mark Myatt 2009-09-19 21:59:13 UTC
Many thanks for comment 6. When I had an "invitation" to upgrade I rather assumed it was fully cooked, as you put it.      I shall wait a long time before I put my toe in that particular water.
