Description Paul W. Frields 2015-03-11 15:18:50 UTC
Description of problem:
I resumed from suspend on F21 x86_64 (Workstation/GNOME desktop), and was unable to see a password entry field when I typed. The screenlock/shield did not change and I could not move it to get a password entry field. However, my typng was accepted and the screen was unlocked.

SELinux is preventing login from read, write access on the chr_file /dev/dri/card0.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that login should be allowed read write access on the card0 chr_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 login /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Lukas Vrabec 2015-03-13 13:47:23 UTC
Any help here? 
Why login writing to /dev/dri/card0 ?

Comment 2 Karel Zak 2015-03-16 13:44:18 UTC
Do you really mean login(1) command? (So the text terminal/console login program.)

Maybe the user is talking about xserver/gdm :-)

Comment 3 Karel Zak 2015-03-16 13:46:48 UTC
Ah, I see comm="login" in audit log... Well, I have no clue why it works with /dev/dri/card0, PAM or so?

Description of problem:
I don't know how this problem happened, but I would place my bet on a leaked file descriptor from kmscon, which spawned login.
I'm reporting this bug as a selinux bug through the tool, but most likely it's a kmscon issue.

Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2015-04-03 15:23:50 UTC
Paul,
if you add a local policy, does it help?

Comment 6 Paul W. Frields 2015-04-06 18:19:32 UTC
Since doing a fresh install on this machine (again, F21), I haven't been able to reproduce the problem.  Maybe this was a bug elsewhere that's been fixed?

Comment 7 Lukas Vrabec 2015-04-07 13:58:58 UTC
Probably, we can close this for now.

Comment 8 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2015-10-29 08:22:00 UTC
Sorry, but I've missed this report, why would you think this would have been related to kmscon (the userspace console ?) This isn't the default console in fedora, so it's quite surprising that kmscon would be involved at all.

As per-the previous message, I'm closing now, but re-assigned to util-linux because of the login question.
