Description Roland Askew 2018-04-23 23:18:44 UTC
Description of problem:

Changed GPU Drivers from Nouveau to Nvidia due to Nouveau sometimes crashing at startup and forcing boot to emergency mode.
Now I am getting an 'selinux AVC Denial', on checking details it says nvidia-modprobe is being denied access to a directory or file.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Unsure.


How reproducible:
Unsure.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Nvidia Drivers. Driver version was Linux x64 / AMD64, v390.48
2. Install Nvidia Drivers using the instructions here: https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2015/fedora-nvidia-guide/
3. Reboot and look for selinux errors.


Expected results:
'selinux detects a problem' occurs, and summary mentions nvidia-modprobe.


Additional info:

selinux details report follows:
---------------------------------
SELinux is preventing nvidia-modprobe from add_name access on the directory nvidiactl.

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

If you believe that nvidia-modprobe should be allowed add_name access on the nvidiactl 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 'nvidia-modprobe' --raw | audit2allow -M my-nvidiamodprobe
# semodule -X 300 -i my-nvidiamodprobe.pp
