Description Priyank 2009-12-27 17:38:40 UTC

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon "read" access on 36
Fire Letters.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by gnome-settings-. It is not expected that this
access is required by gnome-settings- 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 Daniel Walsh 2009-12-30 00:17:47 UTC

What is the   "36 Fire Letters" directory?  Any idea why gnome-settings would want to list it?

Comment 2 Priyank 2009-12-30 04:01:53 UTC

"36 Fire Letters" is a directory stored on my FAt32 partition. I don't have any idea why gnome want to list it :(

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2009-12-30 13:04:09 UTC

Is it in your homedir?
