Description Adam Williamson 2013-06-18 07:44:19 UTC
Description of problem:
Just booted the F19 Final TC5 LXDE live. Other desktop lives didn't do this; not sure if something's different on LXDE or it's a race of some kind.
SELinux is preventing spice-vdagentd from 'module_request' accesses on the system .

*****  Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests  *******************

If you want to allow domain to kernel load modules
Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'domain_kernel_load_modules' boolean.
You can read 'None' man page for more details.
Do
setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1

*****  Plugin catchall (11.6 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that spice-vdagentd should be allowed module_request access on the  system 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 spice-vdagentd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2013-06-18 07:45:13 UTC
Nominating as a final freeze exception, "In most cases, there must be no SELinux 'AVC: denied' messages or abrt crash notifications on initial boot and subsequent login (see Blocker_Bug_FAQ)" for a non-blocking desktop.

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2013-06-18 08:09:01 UTC
Same AVC on boot of the MATE-Compiz live image.

    Make vdagent able to request loading kernel module

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2013-06-18 16:53:12 UTC
Thanks, mgrepl. As we're in final freeze and close to release, can you do a build/update fairly soon? Thanks!

Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2013-06-19 06:49:56 UTC
Yes, will do ASAP. There are other bugs.

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2013-06-19 19:02:02 UTC
Discussed at 2013-06-19 freeze exception review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-06-19/f19final-blocker-review-7.2013-06-19-16.01.log.txt . Accepted as a freeze exception issue as a violation of the 'no AVCs' criterion for non-blocking desktops (so far this hasn't been reported for a GNOME or KDE install).
