Description Stewart Smith 2018-02-22 07:37:50 UTC
Description of problem:
run powertop
SELinux is preventing powertop from 'setopt' accesses on the netlink_generic_socket Unknown.

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

If you believe that powertop should be allowed setopt access on the Unknown netlink_generic_socket 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 'powertop' --raw | audit2allow -M my-powertop
# semodule -X 300 -i my-powertop.pp
