Add Jarod, in case he has any insights as to what new selinux rules are needed for the new lirc. This looks like /var/run/lirc or /var/run/lircd is not labeled correctly. Miroslav we might need to backport F12 lirc policy to F11. Yes, it looks so. I will backport the lirc policy. (In reply to comment #3) > Yes, it looks so. I will backport the lirc policy. Meanwhile, can you post a command-line as a workaround to fix the labelling until the new policy gets pushed? Thanks. Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.12-98.fc11. You can download selinux-policy and selinux-policy-targeted packages and install these packages from Koji for now. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=168966 This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping (In reply to comment #6) > You can download selinux-policy and selinux-policy-targeted packages and > install these packages from Koji for now. > > http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=168966 Great, seems to work now, thanks! Can you submit this as proper bodhi update to updates-testing?

Of course it should be added or otherwise combined with the relevant lirc update so it goes out at the same time: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lirc-0.8.6-1.fc11 selinux-policy-3.6.12-98.fc11,lirc-0.8.6-2.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/selinux-policy-3.6.12-98.fc11,lirc-0.8.6-2.fc11 lirc-0.8.6-2.fc11, selinux-policy-3.6.12-98.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. I am using the i586 version of lirc but lirc has stopped working since these latest updates. The service starts fine and I'm not seeing any errors in the 'secure' or 'messages' logs or in dmesg. irw also starts but I get no response to buttons on my remote. I reverted back to 8.5.3 but that didn't solve it. I'm running in permissive mode but the selinux update seems to be the root of the problem. Is there anything else I can do to help diagnose this problem? kernel: 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i686.PAE tv card: Hauppage PVR-350 selinux-policy-targeted-3.6.12-98.fc11.noarch selinux-policy-3.6.12-98.fc11.noarch lirc-doc-0.8.6-2.fc11.i586 lirc-libs-0.8.6-2.fc11.i586 lirc-0.8.6-2.fc11.i586 lirc-remotes-0.8.6-2.fc11.i586 Thanks in advance. So you are running in permissive mode but it doesn't work. Then it doesn't look like SELinux problem. Are you seeing any AVC messages in /var/log/audit/audit.log? Thanks for your reply. I'm not seeing anything to do with lirc in audit.log. I thought that permissive mode would prevent problems too but I have had selinux updates causing issues with lirc before. I'll keep looking for clues. Thanks again. |
When I try to start the lircd service I get: sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start Starting infrared remote control daemon (lircd): lircd: could not assign address to socket lircd: Permission denied [FAILED] In the logs I see selinux errors, here's the excerpts from /var/log/audit/audit.log: type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1272092444.516:15372): audit_backlog_limit=320 old=256 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:auditctl_t:s0 res=1 type=AVC msg=audit(1272092448.958:15373): avc: denied { create } for pid=1682 comm="lircd" name="lircd" scontext=system_u:system_r:lircd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tclass=sock_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1272092448.958:15373): arch=c000003e syscall=49 success=no exit=-13 a0=4 a1=7ffff702a950 a2=6e a3=7ffff702a660 items=0 ppid=1681 pid=1682 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="lircd" exe="/usr/sbin/lircd" subj=system_u:system_r:lircd_t:s0 key=(null) I am using the version in updates-testing here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lirc-0.8.6-1.fc11 I am also using kernel-2.6.32.10-44.fc11.x86_64 in updates-testing.
