:SELinux is preventing /bin/loadkeys from using the 'sys_admin' capabilities.
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that loadkeys should have the sys_admin capability by default.
:Then you should report this as a bug.
:You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
:Do
:allow this access for now by executing:
:# grep loadkeys /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2012-03-07 18:56:58 UTC
This app should not need this priv. Was this machine running out of resources when this happened?

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2012-03-08 09:18:44 UTC
AFAIK there is a bug for this.
