Description hashim.muqtadir 2017-03-20 13:36:23 UTC
Description of problem:
I followed the steps for installing guix, 
provided at https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Binary-Installation.html, 
which include:
- Download guix
- unpack in tmp
- move to /var/guix and /gnu
- run guix-daemon as service

Doing so causes the service to fail to start and selinux complains.

While guix is not provided as a package in fedora, it would still be very useful
if it worked well with fedora and selinux out of the box, or, some documentation on how
to make it work.

Following the steps in the selinux troubleshooter to install custom policies do work, so it is
admittedly not too big a deal though.

SELinux is preventing systemd from 'open' accesses on the file /gnu/store/gj2i5xs7nm80mwrb139pa8iqfccw08zz-guix-0.12.0/lib/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service.

*****  Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests   ************************

If you want to fix the label. 
/gnu/store/gj2i5xs7nm80mwrb139pa8iqfccw08zz-guix-0.12.0/lib/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service default label should be default_t.
Then you can run restorecon.
Do
# /sbin/restorecon -v /gnu/store/gj2i5xs7nm80mwrb139pa8iqfccw08zz-guix-0.12.0/lib/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service

*****  Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that systemd should be allowed open access on the guix-daemon.service 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:
# ausearch -c 'systemd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemd
# semodule -X 300 -i my-systemd.pp

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 18:35:11 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '25'.

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 25 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.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:41:13 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 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.

Comment 3 Andrew Plaza 2019-05-03 05:53:07 UTC
I can confirm this is still a bug on Fedora 30. I tried installing Guix today and ran into the same issue, where SELinux blocks guix-daemon from executing:
