When the dcopserver is running the annoying popup messages windows stop popping up. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-strict-1.17.30-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.In gnome desktop select games>patience from the launcher 2. 3. Actual Results: A DCOP communications error (Patience) window pops up. It has a redcircle witha a white x icon and the following text: There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE. The message returned by the system was: Could not read network connection list. /home/foouser/.DCOPserver_dhcppc1_0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running! Expected Results: The game whould launch. Additional info: The problem was found in testing of my first installation of SELinux on a system that was newly updated from FC2 to FC3. I call it a minor a Low severity, however I have not idea if there is the first indication of a more serious or pervasive problem. It could also be that I have some old/external package with messed up dependencies on my system.
Fixed in policy-1.19.7-1, Please use the strict policy from rawhide for FC3, the strict policy has not been maintained in updates as this is experimental. I will try to update it.
The problem occurs with selinux-policy-strict-1.19.10-2. Is this advice to revert to an older version found in rawhide?
You shouldn't be seeing these in 1.19.10. But I would grab the one in Rawhide. Dan
The problem has gone away now that I a using selinux-policy-targeted-1.19.14-5
