Description Davide Rondini 2010-01-07 13:06:31 UTC
abrt 1.0.0 detected a crash.

How to reproduce
-----
1. chcon -R -t virt_image_t /home/davide/VirtualMachines/
2. semanage fcontext -a -t virt_image_t /home/davide/VirtualMachines/

Comment
-----
I was setting a SELinux context to be able to run virtual machines in a user's directory. Set correctly the chcon, but crashed on semanage (run as user). The error reported was: 

/usr/sbin/semanage: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/semanage", line 547, in <module>
    errorExit(error.args[0])
  File "/usr/sbin/semanage", line 112, in errorExit
    sys.stderr.write("%s\n" % error)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe8' in position 22: ordinal not in range(128)

After the command, the image of virtual machine has become owned by root user and group.

$ ls -lZ
-rw-r--r--. root   root   system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0 windows.img



cmdline: /usr/bin/python -E /usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t virt_image_t /home/davide/VirtualMachines/

What lanquage?

Also could you update to the latest policycoreutils package

yum -y update policycoreutils\*
