Description of problem: ...i'm totally new to linux so don't trust my words fully. the date on the bug says that it happened tomorrow!! so I can't really identify when it could have happened. this Fedora installation is brand new, it has been done trhough booting a USB stick and the past hours had been spent installing applications. SELinux is preventing gnome-shell from 'execute' accesses on the file 2F72756E2F676E6F6D652D696E697469616C2D73657475702F233331383636202864656C6574656429. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that gnome-shell should be allowed execute access on the 2F72756E2F676E6F6D652D696E697469616C2D73657475702F233331383636202864656C6574656429 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 'gnome-shell' --raw | audit2allow -M my-gnomeshell # semodule -X 300 -i my-gnomeshell.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:xdm_var_run_t:s0 Target Objects 2F72756E2F676E6F6D652D696E697469616C2D73657475702F 233331383636202864656C6574656429 [ file ] Source gnome-shell Source Path gnome-shell Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-259.fc26.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.11.8-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 29 20:09:48 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 3 First Seen 2017-11-09 01:49:13 CST Last Seen 2017-11-09 01:49:28 CST Local ID 666068fd-d582-4d10-8aff-949582f3bc3e Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1510163368.115:212): avc: denied { execute } for pid=1462 comm="gst-plugin-scan" path=2F72756E2F676E6F6D652D696E697469616C2D73657475702F233331383636202864656C6574656429 dev="tmpfs" ino=31866 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:xdm_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 Hash: gnome-shell,xdm_t,xdm_var_run_t,file,execute Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-259.fc26.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.9.1 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.11.8-300.fc26.x86_64 type: libreport
