Description of problem: I tried to add a virtual machine in the Gnome Boxes application. SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 from 'open' accesses on the file . ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests ****************** If you want to allow virt to use fusefs Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'virt_use_fusefs' boolean. You can read 'None' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P virt_use_fusefs 1 ***** Plugin catchall (11.6 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that qemu-system-x86_64 should be allowed open access on the file 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 qemu-system-x86 /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c577,c929 Target Context system_u:object_r:fusefs_t:s0 Target Objects [ file ] Source qemu-system-x86 Source Path /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages qemu-system-x86-1.6.2-8.fc20.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-183.fc20.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.16.2-200.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Sep 8 11:54:45 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2014-09-17 13:25:22 CEST Last Seen 2014-09-17 13:25:22 CEST Local ID 20cc1b73-e041-4ed2-8e48-125270bbdce5 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1410953122.783:431): avc: denied { open } for pid=7844 comm="qemu-system-x86" path=2F72756E2F6D656469612F54696D75722F54696D75722036343047422F53747566662F496E7374616C6C6572732F49534F2F57696E646F777320372050726F66657373696F6E616C20776974682053657276696365205061636B2031202878363429202D204456442028456E676C697368292F656E5F77696E646F77735F375F70726F66657373696F6E616C5F776974685F7370315F7836345F6476645F755F3637363933392E69736F dev="sdb1" ino=54786 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c577,c929 tcontext=system_u:object_r:fusefs_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1410953122.783:431): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7f8001d8e410 a1=80000 a2=0 a3=fffffffffffdfc00 items=0 ppid=1 pid=7844 auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 euid=1000 suid=1000 fsuid=1000 egid=1000 sgid=1000 fsgid=1000 tty=(none) ses=1 comm=qemu-system-x86 exe=/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 subj=unconfined_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c577,c929 key=(null) Hash: qemu-system-x86,svirt_t,fusefs_t,file,open Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.2.3 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.16.2-200.fc20.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 871300
