Description of problem: SELinux is preventing lightdm from 'create' accesses on the directory .cache. ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests ****************** If you want to allow polyinstantiation to enabled Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'polyinstantiation_enabled' boolean. You can read 'None' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P polyinstantiation_enabled 1 ***** Plugin catchall (11.6 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that lightdm should be allowed create access on the .cache directory 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: # ausearch -c 'lightdm' --raw | audit2allow -M my-lightdm # semodule -X 300 -i my-lightdm.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 Target Objects .cache [ dir ] Source lightdm Source Path lightdm Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM <Unknown> Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.7.7-200.fc24.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Oct 8 00:21:59 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2016-10-11 16:26:48 NZDT Last Seen 2016-10-11 16:26:48 NZDT Local ID b10e06c0-db9d-4983-b15a-c3906ad3059a Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1476156408.378:247): avc: denied { create } for pid=1665 comm="lightdm" name=".cache" scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0 Hash: lightdm,xdm_t,admin_home_t,dir,create Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.7.2 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.7.7-200.fc24.x86_64+debug type: libreport

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
